No Brutus at Mission

Sorry to say that we got shot down at the border this time for some chicken ***** from '82. All you can do at the border is shut up and go where they tell you but it was definitely a big disappointment. I guess we're going to have to lawyer up to get the paper work in order. What a stupid waste of money and energy.

Oh well. We'll definitely be ready for Spokane.

Chris, if you have been denied or refused entry to Canada due to a criminal record or a criminal offence, the procedure is that you make an application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada for a Temporary Resident Permit or TRP. If you are a U.S. Citizen or a citizen from a visa exempt country, you could apply for your temporary resident permit at the Canada/US Border or Port of Entry such as a land border or airport. If you are approved a Temporary Resident Permit, you will be granted your TRP right away at the border and allowed to continue your travel. Most Border officer aren't aware of this procedure. Hope this hepls. Claude

I thought maybe the forecast scared you guys off Chris.

I've never understood the Canadian border issue. For some I know the problems happened when they were in their teens. It could've been 20-30 years ago. They've been across the border a few times then all of a sudden they get denied.

My favorite story is the one where they see you have a record and are denying you entry, but wait if you fork over a few hundred bucks we'll let you through!!???

Anyone have a good explanation as to why they don't want us supporting their economy? Especially with the new 12% HST!!!!

BTW that was an extra $19.80 per entry on top of the $165!!!

Your side isn't any better. Last summer I got called inside (first time ever) and after wasting my time for an hour, the agent finally dug up something I did in the 70's. He did let me through and I wasn't asked about it again. Going across this morning so will see what happens.

And yes, the HST sucks!
