Consequences of DUI Canada Would Ban Bush — But There Are Loopholes By Rebecca Cooper W A S H I N G T O N, Nov. 3 — Even if George W. Bush is elected president, he may need special permission to get into Canada because of his arrest for drunken driving. The Republican candidate for president acknowledged for the first time on Thursday that he was arrested for driving under the influence on Labor Day weekend in 1976, near his family home in Kennebunkport, Maine. According to Canada’s Criminal Code, Bush is deemed an “inadmissible” person, in violation of Section 19 (2) (a.1) of the Immigration Act of Canada. In other words, he has committed a crime considered an indictable offense in Canada, and, because of that he is banned. ------ Gore and Clinton Illegal Too Canadian attorney Darryl Larson maintains Bush has some notable company in the “inadmissible” category, contending that Canadian law bans both President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. “If you admit to having smoked marijuana,” Larson explains, “You have admitted to an unlawful act. That would allow reasonable grounds for our immigration officers to determine that you have broken a law that, if committed in Canada, would be subject to prosecution and therefore falls under this law. So this would apply to both Clinton and Gore.” abcnews.go.com

There is no way this ding dong and a cub reporter from a Fox affiliate are the only people who had this information. Even if they were, he wouldn't have moved without clearing it with the Gore campaign. I think Connolly has volunteered to take the heat for this because he is a good soldier but also because he has a pile of debt from his own earlier unsuccessful campaign, and this publicity can be parlayed into a little much needed cash. A lawyer named Kenneth Curtis was also a delegate to the Democrat convention. He is a former chairman of the Maine Democrat Party and is a law partner of Erin Lehane, the sister of Gore aide Chris Lehane. He is also friendly with a judge named Billy Childs, who ordered the document out of cold storage four months ago.
