Cheney Considers Canada Too Dangerous

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney has canceled a planned speaking engagement in Toronto, calling it too dangerous. He and his daughter, Elizabeth, had been scheduled to speak at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on April 24.

Ryan Ruppert of Spectre Live Corp. said, "After speaking with their security advisers, they changed their mind on coming to the event. They decided it was better for their personal safety they stay out of Canada."

In September Cheney had visited Vancouver, but his hotel was besieged by protestors. It took Vancouver police around seven hours to secure an exit for the former VP.
