Canadian cannabis workers targeted by U.S. border guards for lifetime bans

My Canadian step dad got his American citizenship specifically so he could no longer be hassled at the border.

He doesn't do anything with cannabis except smoke it legally in Colorado.

Such is the level of insanity in this country these days.

I'm weighing my options to leave, myself.

I suspect that all the barriers to entry and exit are there to make sure Americans don't hear about how much better things could be...

Who'd want to go to there anyway? I think every American visitor should be asked if they have ever owned a handgun. Anyone with a permit should be banned from Canada for life. If Americans can ban Canadians for following OUR laws, we can do the same.

Since he's Canadian, that should give you dual citizenship automatically no?

My son was born here but I was born in Uruguay and became a citizen here. He can move to Uruguay no problem and have dual citizenship.

still might have trouble crossing either way...up or down...
border has turned weird to say the least....

No but I'll get dual citizenship without argument because I was born in Alberta.

Have you spent much time in Canada? If "not really" go for a good holiday and see if you can find a place you like. Moving is not as hard as some people make out. Can give your life a good spring clean.

Which part of BC? Just stay away from Alberta - their provincial government is even crazier than Trump.

It's an extremely broken society. Getting worse by the month imo. Glad I have zero to do with the place.

The backlash is coming, even if it's not soon enough for us.

All this batshit crazy bullshit is the last hurrah at the extreme(ist) end of the pendulum swing and we'll start seeing a strong turn to the Left soon. The signs are there, including encouraging signs that Progressives are making inroads into the Democratic Party, even while party insiders are kicking and screaming the whole way.

The main political issue dividing the country isn't abortion or even wealth inequality, it's the needs and desires of rural vs urban populations. That's barely been addressed, let alone resolved. Divisive leaders (like Chump) will keep exploiting that split for personal and political gain as long as Americans let them.

This is a ridiculous argument,. I have a hand gun, do I need to leave Canada. FYI, you can own handguns in Canada legally.

Itsme.

They haven't made their choice yet. Let's just say the current administration's shenanigans are motivational.
