Does Jimmy K want Canada to block Bey?
That's a possibility he raised with the Toronto Sun on Tuesday.
Jim Karygiannis, Toronto city councillor, former Member of Parliament, and all-around plain-spoken guy, told the tabloid on Tuesday that the Trudeau government should investigate ties between Beyoncé—and her Super Bowl backup dancers—and the Black Panther Party.
And while it might seem ridiculous to suggest that Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) should turn Beyoncé Knowles-Carter away at the border, well, it is.
Beyoncé is slated to perform in Toronto on May 25 but, after her Super Bowl halftime performance—which, on top of being the best, gave shout-outs to the Black Panthers and Malcolm X—the city councillor says the federal government should be vetting whether or not she's eligible to enter the country.
"Perhaps Immigration Minister John McCallum should have her investigated first?" Karygiannis told Sun columnist/Rob Ford apologist Joe Warmington, who is very good at transcribing interviews with city councillors he likes. "If someone wore bullets and supported [a radical group] here, they would not be welcomed in the United States—that's for sure."
Bye.
this bish impact and influence is no joke, no one today comes close to it. Make'em mad you cutlure legend
