They were stopped at the border.

 

So sorry to hear what happen to this man...These people who are protesting are part of a cult. They are being deceived by the devil himself. They are the ones who are EVIL.
Again, Very Sorry...My prayers go out to the victims family.

Good...these freaks need to be banned from life!

 

Way to go Canada!! Maybe the freaks who make it through will find themselves in a Canadian jail soon!

 

when Phelps dies I will ride from Alabama to Kansas to p_ss on his grave. I won't mind standing in line.

 

Thanks Wardster. Stand tall.

 

Read what they had to say - put me back to the late 60's and early 70's. Same o same o. All religions preach love and peace (even the true Muslims). But someone has got to F**k it up.

 

I can actually say I am proud of our Government

'Hated' group crosses border to picket funeral

An alert that Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day reportedly sent to Canadian borders guards to bar a controversial U.S. church group from entering Canada didn't block some members from getting in, the group's lawyer claimed Friday.


Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of the founding member of the Westboro Baptist Church, told CTV.ca a group of seven members was turned away when they tried to cross the U.S. border into Canada Thursday night. But she said other members managed to get through at another border crossing, although she would not say how many.


Phelps-Roper and her church have outraged Canadians by planning to protest Tim McLean's funeral. Members of the ultra-conservative Christian church claim McLean, who was decapitated by a fellow-passenger on a Greyhound bus last month, deserved his fate. Although no member of the group ever met McLean, they claim he lived an immoral and godless life, just like all other Canadians.


On Friday, Phelps-Roper said her group will not be stopped from getting its message out, even if only one member makes it to McLean's funeral.


"Don't worry. It won't matter how many people there are. When they get the signs up, they'll (get) the same raging, screaming response," Phelps-Roper said.


NDP MP Pat Martin told the Winnipeg Free Press that Day's office sent an alert to border guards on Thursday in an effort to keep the group out of the country.


Phelps-Roper said the church's first group of protesters was refused entry into Canada. Members of the second group, however, carried no signs or leaflets indicating they belonged to the Westboro Baptist Church. That group got through and is now in Canada, Phelps-Roper said.


Phelps-Roper -- who will be at another protest in Chicago this weekend -- said the church is now trying to courier protest signs to Winnipeg, where McLean's funeral will be held on Saturday. However, she said she will tell her members not to hold signs stating "God hates Canada" because she's concerned police will arrest them.


"I don't have any interest in our people being in a Canadian jail," she said.

Winnipeg police told CTV.ca on Friday that they are aware of the situation and have the resources to deal with events if there is a disturbance.


The Westboro Baptist church has gained notoriety in recent years for setting up protest pickets at the funerals of U.S. soldiers who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Church members claim the deaths are part of God's wrath against Americans for turning their back on his teachings, specifically by tolerating homosexuality.


They have repeatedly called the U.S. a "***" nation, a phrase Phelps-Roper told CTV.ca applies well to Canada.
