Going to Canada? Check Your Past

There was a time not long ago when a trip across the border from the United States to Canada was accomplished with a wink and a wave of a driver’s license. Those days are over. Take the case of 55-year-old Lake Tahoe resident Greg Felsch. Stopped at the border in Vancouver this month at the start of a planned five-day ski trip, he was sent back to the United States because of a DUI conviction seven years ago.

Brutal! That’s the only word to describe this. There is one example listed of a guy who was disallowed to enter Canada because of a weed possession charge… that happened over thirty years ago. I completely fail to understand how such meaningless charges have anything to do with entering a new Country… seems like Canada is not such a friendly place to visit anymore.
