Gold Star father Khizr Khan has canceled a scheduled speech in Toronto after being told his “travel privileges are being reviewed,” according to the event organizer.

Khan, who has lived in the U.S. since 1980 and is a naturalized U.S. citizen, was scheduled to speak Tuesday at a luncheon hosted by the Toronto-based organization Ramsay Talks.

The two-hour event was scheduled to include a presentation and question-and-answer session on “what we can do about the appalling turn of events in Washington – so that we don’t all end up sacrificing everything,” according to the organizer.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Khan said he was not told why his travel status was under review.

this fable again.. he does not have travel privileges. If he’s a citizen, he can’t be stopped from leaving or returning. Other countries can prevent him from entering but why would Canada do that? if the media did a five minute check, they wold know this.
Maybe he needs to update his passport..

Someone speculated here yesterday that the event is being canceled because nobody was going to show up to listen to the guy ... and they fabricated this story to avoid giving the real reason.

This had better be fake news. A naturalized citizen, no mater how disgusting his politics, cannot have their "travel privileges" reviewed.

Charge him or leave him alone.

I’m kind of hoping that he’s really going up to Canada to set up shop to sell Canada to rich muslims. So we can be rid of him.

Let him go to Toronto and then do not let him back in. That would be cool. Self deportation of a persona non grata.

He could be refused air passage by the US...and he could be refused entry by Canada.

I wouldn’t totally restrict his travel. Give the moslem a one way ticket to Yemen.

Fake mews he probably wasn’t planning to go anyway. A lying Muslim pos is a perfect agent for lying Democrat pos to exploit.

“This turn of events is not just of deep concern to me but to all my fellow Americans who cherish our freedom to travel abroad,” he said, according to the statement. “I have not been given any reason as to why. I am grateful for your support and look forward to visiting Toronto in the near future.”

If your travel privileges are "under review", it did not come from the United States, you big dummy. But you probably already knew that, didn't you?
