The Westboro Baptist Cult (or, the "whitey" version of Trinity United Church of Christ) was hoping to take a pleasant, peaceful trip up north to pay their respects to the Canadian man who was murdered, decapitated, and partially eaten on a Greyhound bus. Those free speech-stifling fascist Canucks had other ideas:

Canadian border guards are under orders to prevent members of a fundamentalist American church from crossing into Canada to protest at the Saturday funeral for a Winnipeg man brutally killed on a Greyhound bus last week.

Westboro Baptist Church, a controversial Kansas-based sect, intends to picket the funeral of 22-year-old Tim McLean to tell Canadians his slaying on July 30 was God's response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and adultery.

"God is punishing Canada for passing laws against WBC — by exposing Canadians as cannibals and highway decapitaters," the church says in a news release on its website, which refers to McLean as "The Headless Canadian."

This does give me an excuse to post the MST3K "Ode to Canada," though.
