Like <A HREF="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=__2SJOjafHs" REL="nofollow">this one</A>.<BR/><BR/>On top of that, the American KKK and other racial militant groups have collaborated with Canadian racial militant groups over the past twenty years, and even today.<BR/><BR/>If a known member of the KKK -- and one thing I'll add as a caveat is that we don't know who all their members are -- is coming to Canada, there's a pretty good chance it's for those purposes.<BR/><BR/>Bill Ayers is a different example. Bill Ayers himself has committed acts of armed militance against his own government, admits to them, and actually wishes he had done more.<BR/><BR/>So we don't allow him over the border. I don't care how long ago it was, either.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-46802413850212126912009-01-21T13:19:00.000-07:002009-01-21T13:19:00.000-07:00PR: Ideology is not prohibited in Canada.

It's as pervasive as it is anywhere else in the world.<BR/><BR/>Is there a specific reason why you ask?<BR/><BR/>What other grounds would you have for prohibiting KKK members from entering the country? They no longer engage in the domestic terrorism that they engaged in before the 1960's. There are plenty of members of the KKK who have never engaged in such things, so simply being a part of such an organization seems a bit of a shady reason to deny one entry into the country. (Likewise, simply being a member of "Weather Underground" wouldn't be a damnable offense.)<BR/><BR/>If, however, you have laws in place about racist/hate speech, then there would seem to be some grounds for denying them entrance, although it seems like such infractions shouldn't be felonies.
