Anthony J. Hall's interview with a reporter for Canada's CTV in front of the Vancouver Club on September 26, 2011. The subject of both the discussion and of the protest rally is the failure of Canadian officials to enforce domestic and international law by arresting former US Vice-President Dick Cheney. Cheney clearly fills all the criteria of a person who should have been charged under the terms of the Canadian Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, 2000.

Police rough up anti-Cheney protesters

As former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney spoke in Vancouver on Monday night -- his first visit to Canada since leaving power -- several hundred people demanded his arrest on charges of war crimes and torture, blocking both entrances to the upscale Vancouver Club by linking arms, as others staged a sit-in lasting several hours.

Police escorted speech-goers to the private book club event inside, at one point shoving an identified reporter forcefully, pushing an older man to the ground and stepping on sitting demonstrators. Similar scenes greeted Cheney the following day in Calgary.

"People around the world are going to see images of the Vancouver Police Department roughing up peaceful demonstrators when they should have seen images of hauling Dick Cheney off to a prison cell. It's lucky nobody was seriously hurt," said stopwar.ca's Derrick O'Keefe, one of the protest organizers.

The crowd of about 300 -- spurred by support from the world's second-largest rights group, U.S.-based Human Rights Watch -- demanded Cheney's arrest for war crimes and torture. Cheney is in Canada promoting his new book, In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir, in which he defends authorizing simulated drowning known as "water-boarding," other "enhanced interrogation techniques," and policies rendering U.S. terror suspects to torture overseas, as in the case of now-exonerated Canadian citizen Maher Arar.

1. Wow.... Canada won't let anyone in with a OWI, but they let a war criminal in?

[Enthusiast]

2. I'm sorry, but what is an OWI?

Curious.

5. Operating while intoxicated.

6. Hard to imagine U.S. citizens

aren't allowed to enter Canada because of an OWI conviction. Is this for life?

7. Yes it's true.

If you have had a drunk driving conviction at any time (eg you could be 60 years old and the only DUI conviction was when you were 23) and if the immigration officers find out about it you will, as a rule, be barred from entering Canada. I believe there is a special process available to apply at a Canadian embassy or consulate in the US for a waiver.

As far as I know the situation works the same but in reverse for Canadians trying to enter the US with a drunk driving conviction on their record.

4. Unfortunately,

Most Canadians would only rise up if Cheney won the Stanley cup while in Vancouver.
