TORONTO — Girl Guides of Canada will not approve any new travel to the United States, describing the decision as difficult but necessary to protect its members.

“Girl Guides” is what they call Girl Scouts in Canada. Same ideology, apparently.

Dang.... I had a mental picture of hot Canadian women guiding me on a trip, making sure I see the sights, making sure I’m safely in bed at night.

You know... tour guide stuff.

I was a girl guide back in my youth. We never traveled anywhere. Why would they be travelling anywhere’s anyway?

I was a Brownie and and Girl Guide as well. The only travelling we did was trotting through the neighborhood peddling cookies....with no commission.

We went to Joshua Tree a few times and the Colorado River, but I was a boy scout in Southern California. Never got to Philmont. Worked the Los Angeles County Fair as a messenger.

I used to listen to Radio Canada International (SW), and there was a Canadian MP, a muslim, that complained about the travel restrictions immediately after 9/11/2001 that he wouldn’t be able to travel to the US.

Canadians can travel to North Korea and Cuba, if I recall. Let the little snowflakes see what real totalitarianism is.
