Take Action 
1 » Report George W. Bush as a person
      likely to try to enter Canada contrary to section 35 of the
      Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

    

    The Canadian Border Service Agency runs a Border Watch Toll-free
    line. Their website advertises:


    “If you have information about suspicious cross-border activity,
    please contact the Canada Border Services Agency Border Watch
    Toll-free Line at 1-888-502-9060.”

    

    George Walker Bush, born July 6, 1945 is likely to try to cross the
    border into Canada on or about October 18 to 20th 2011 to attend an
    event in Surrey British Columbia.  Mr. Bush has admitted to
    authorizing and approving the widespread use of torture by the U.S.
    Armed Forces and the CIA.  There are reasonable grounds to believe
    that George W. Bush, as the President of the United States of
    America and Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces between 2001
    and 2009, counselled, aided and abetted the commission of torture
    and other war crimes and crimes against humanity in Iraq,
    Afghanistan and other locations. Experts estimate that in Iraq
    alone, over a million innocent men, women and children have died as
    a consequence of the illegal U.S.-led war on Iraq authorized and
    directed by George W. Bush.

    reward for information.
