Dick Cheney must be barred entry to Canada, Vancouver MP Don Davies says

Dick Cheney is scheduled to speak in Vancouver on September 26.

Finally, an elected Canadian politician has the balls to take on Dick.

In a calm and measured voice, Vancouver Kingsway MP Don Davies today (September 23) declared that former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney should be barred from entering Canada.

Davies was speaking at a news conference held at the W2 Media Café in downtown Vancouver, which saw peace activist Derrick O’Keefe, lawyer Gail Davidson, and global peace advocate Blake MacLeod deliver statements about Cheney’s Monday (September 26) speaking engagement at the Vancouver Club.

The federal NDP’s immigration critic outlined the case why Cheney should not be allowed to waltz into town based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Davies cited Section 35 of this law, which states in part that a foreign national is inadmissible for entry into Canada if the person is “a prescribed senior official in the service of a government that, in the opinion of the Minister, engages or has engaged in terrorism, systematic or gross human rights violations, or genocide, a war crime or a crime against humanity within the meaning of subsections 6(3) to (5) of the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act”.

A lawyer, Davies also cited Section 36 of IRPA that provides in part that a person is also inadmissible if the individual was responsible for “an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years”.

Davies said that he wrote Conservative Immigration Minister Jason Kenney today to remind the federal government that it has the responsibility to “uphold the law”.

According to Davies, the former American vice president has openly and unapologetically admitted that he did not stop acts of torture perpetrated against perceived enemies of the U.S.

Davies said that he considers practices like waterboarding, or simulated drowning, and sleep deprivation as acts of torture.

“Torture is a serious crime. It is a war crime. It is a crime against humanity,” said Davies, who was enthusiastically applauded after delivering his statement.

Despite angry e-mails and a protest planned for a local appearance by former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney, the organizer of his speaking event says she welcomes the clash of opinion.

Cheney is schedule to speak Tuesday at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel to an intimate crowd of 200 people as part of a nearly sold-out tour that has already met resistance in other cities such as Vancouver.

Protestors calling Cheney a U.S. war criminal for his actions during his tenure under Bush have launched a Facebook page to rally outside the hotel from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday in opposition to his visit.

Cheney is on a tour through the U.S. and Canada promoting his new memoir, In My Time.

But Leah Costello, founder of the Bon Mot Book Club, which is responsible for bringing his tour to Calgary and Vancouver, said she welcomes any differences in ideas.

"The purpose of (the event) is to simulate debate and discussion," she said.

"We look at the protests as a good thing."

She said the group has been the focus of a robust campaign that wanted to see his invitation rescinded.

"We have received a number of emails -- they have not been polite ... passionate with strong opinions," she said, but adding she supports freedom of speech and expression.

"We encourage debate and discussion."

Cheney's appearances has also raised the ire of the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch, which on Saturday issued a statement on its website requesting the Canadian government should be prepared to bring criminal charges against him when he visits Vancouver on Monday for "his alleged role in the torture of detainees."

Security will be in place for the Calgary event, as is the case for all public figures, and local police will be on hand to keep an eye on protesters should they get out of hand.

Calgary cops have been in contact with the protest's organizer and don't expect there will be any problems, said spokeswoman Emma Poole.

Cheney's visit will be the club's first Calgary event.

It has been running for a year in Vancouver.

Are you crazy. The US will send its National Guard to conquor Canada befor Cheney is investigated.
