I always respected that Canada is open to almost everyone…
Except if you have a DUI
I knew a lady that was a Canadian citizen but lived and worked in Seattle. She got a DUI and they won’t let her go back into Canada until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
That’s ridiculous. You can deny someone a driving licence, but you can’t deny them entry to the country they’re a citizen of.
Sounds like my ex… From Seattle. Does the word “Ace” mean anything to you?
I dunno, DUI is serious, you could kill someone. Maybe it is a long and expensive process to make sure people will remember it and not drive while being drunk?
I always figured it was a good line in the sand telling some Americans, they are not welcome
drunk driving is serious and I respect that they treat it as such

Probably could have left out the words “without due process” because they should not be throwing people into an El Salvadorian gulag.

I thought it was part of the joke

Idk it kinda feels like the implication is that if you have due process, then this would be okay. I’m firmly in the camp that nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason
