D.U.I.
The Broker kept trying to send me to Canada when I had my 18 wheel truck. Canada found a D. W. I. on my record. and Basically said they would look the
other way if I would send them 200dls. that didn't interest me because I was looking for a excuse not to go. Then they found out my truck was too long
for the highways and wouldn't let it in ohhhhhh happy day.

I have driven the roads between AK and WA eight times, and look forward to my next trip in a month or so....if they let me in this time.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Yes, of course. The Native American schools. Another of both our countries finest hours.

And how would that be, Chuckie?
How many indigenous folks do you know....and what would they say about the effects of such racist assimilation policies?

Could this be true. What other traffic offenses would be passed on to the passport people, speeding tickets, car wrecks, parking tickets. Will Mexico
be next to enforce such rules. |

Canadian rules at the border line basically emulate the American rules. Americans who admit to smoking weed are not harassed as long as they left
their supply at home, although Canadians, if asked about its use, and answer affirmative, are suddenly subjected to lifetime ban to enter that
country. I'm not sure how many have been asked, but we've heard from some in the news reports.
The border shows on Shaw are not always Canadian content, there are also American border problems filmed as well as Australian. I perceive them as
done live, at actual border locations. It looks real because it is, at times faces are blurred on innocents. Passports became a popular item once the
US required them, this at a time when most European countries had open border policies. The big difference for Americans traveling to Canada is the
ban on hand guns. This ban exists for Canadian resident within Canada as well, and goes back many, many decades. One can circumvent this by joining a
gun club, but that only allows you to take it to and then straight home, from the club; or else be a member of a police force, or other such body, and
all are registered.

Injured Injuns ?
The BEST thing that ever happened to this continent's aborigines was being discovered by the Europeans.
It was the beginning of centuries of progress.
Resulting in heap big (casino) Wampum.

The takeaway must be , cross the border, any border for that matter, according to the legal requirements of the country being entered.
Yes it is that easy.

KNOW Before you GO ........................
And don't whine NO MO !
With all of the information available, ignorance is (truly) no excuse.
As to that "White Privilege" nonsense which one invariably hears from the whiners ....................... fortunately, the environment which built a
great society (thanks to European discovery) will still be doing well when I've had MY last gasp.

Good to know.
Though, this is different from sharing databases on much bigger scale btw Canada and the US, including not only all minor criminal offenses but pretty
much any criminal records that either country might have or "had" in the past on you. 11 year old offense will still be there unless you've applied
to expunge the record. A lawyer once told me that even after deleting the actual record, there still remains a record that there "was" a record,
without any details. This all gives border agents more discretionary power.
Your movements across the Can/Us border are thoroughly tracked, US knows when their nationals leave and return, and so does Canada. When US national
leaves by air - no matter where - the airlines send to CBP his name, date etc with the list of passengers called "passenger manifest". The sign of
times, an inevitable thing.

Whoever is reporting Canadians and Americans, not being allowed to enter Mexico, for crimes up to 10 years old, are probably dangerous criminals,
because what they are saying is very misleading. ( nothing against Bajagrouper, it's the ones who are making these misleading reports)
I would say compared to Canada's and the USA's dated and extreme custom border polices, Mexico has the most reasonable border crossing polices.
What the Mexico embassy reports on their entry requirements is that they may refuse entry to an applicant subject to a criminal process or has been
convicted of a serious crime, and they list examples of some of the serious crimes, like murder, terrorism, exploitation of minors, kidnapping, and
many more serious crime examples, but nothing like a simple DUI, as in Canada, or like in the US, where you could face a lifetime ban for admitting
you once smoke marijuana, which is totality ridiculous, especially with the changing marijuana laws in all three countries.
