Niiiiiice: Canada Turns Bill Ayers Away at the Border

Friend of Barack Obama and unapologetic former terrorist Bill Ayers was scheduled to speak at the University of Toronto today in honor of Martin Luther King Day. Given King's commitment to non-violence, this is ironic, no?

But when he showed up at the border yesterday the Canadians wouldn't let him in. Someone buy that Mountie a beer.

Today, we are all Canadians!

Thanks to Unattributable Maven.

UPDATE: Here's a flyer from the now canceled event. He's described as a "social justice activist" known for his "anti-war efforts". You know, like bombing stuff and blowing up shit.

UPDATE II: At the time of the original post, nothing in the MSM. But now AllahP finds a story:

“I got off the plane like everyone else and I was asked to come over to the other side. The border guards reviewed some stuff and said I wasn’t going to be allowed into Canada. To me it seems quite bureaucratic and not at all interesting … If it were me I would have let me in. I couldn’t possibly be a threat to Canada.”…
Fun-nay.
