Chris Brown says he's been denied entry into Canada

TORONTO (AP) — Chris Brown tweeted Tuesday that he's been denied entry into Canada and that his concerts in Montreal and Toronto have been canceled.

The Grammy-winning R&B singer was scheduled to perform at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Tuesday and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Wednesday night.

Brown said in a tweet the "good people of the Canadian government wouldn't allow me entry. I'll be back this summer and will hopefully see all my Canadian fans!"

Brown was jailed for nearly three months last year for violating his probation by getting into an altercation outside a Washington hotel the previous year. He was on probation after he attacked pop singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Article is unclear whether it's because he beats women or simply because he has no talent.

Maybe it was Auto Tune who couldn't get in and he's trying to save face.

We've been told up here that even if you have just a DUI, you can't drive through the Yukon and BC to get to Juneau. I don't know if it's entirely true or not, but that's the story we hear here.

But I have heard that generally you get denied coming into the US rather than vice versa more frequently and the list of offenses is larger.

And I had to do some explaining last time I crossed; they eventually let me in since it was literally the lowest misdemeanor on the books, but regardless they were able to see it was there and took quite an interest in it...so I'd guess there's at least a hearty grain of truth to what you say.
