Well if you can't believe the comrades over at The Guardian who can you believe right?

I believe it, because mg cousin’s Canadian wife (legal permanent resident) was detained for hours and questioned back in February after visiting her family in Canada. She’s been a legal permanent resident (married to my cousin) for 30 years and normally crossing back into the USA is a 5 minute process.

I’d say we are *barely* still in the realm of the “free” countries, but every defied court order pushes us closer to the “russia” category.

So let me tell you about Canadian Justice. A fellow sitting in a coffee shop one day was approached by a friend and asked to give said friend a ride back to said friends farm. The fellow in the coffee shop smiled as he knew his friend was always up to something but giving a ride seemed pretty harmless. When they got close to the farm the friend asked to be let out before they actually got to the farm and that is what the driver did. The driver drove back to town and spent the rest of the day enjoying his life. He later found out that the guy he had given a ride to had shot and killed four cops as they searched the farm for illegal drugs and guns before he shot himself in the head and died. The coffee drinker's life was never the same. He was arrested and charged with helping kill cops and was sent to jail.

Now that ive read the article. Yes human detentions of people just crossing the border has been monetized and turned into its own industry. For claims of illegal invaders as opposed to what is clearly law abiding travelers. It would save America so much cost to not do what its doing. Send her to canada or cloth feed and house her for that amount of time. Beaurocrats scream we are trying to be fair & save money, but really are only collecting a paycheck, getting bribed by special interests, and holding up due process.
Encourage boycott. No one visit America and everyone buy elsewhere.

I know about her and it makes me extremely sad. We have been taken over by domestic terrorists here in the USA and I fear it will take our president and other cabinet members being charged with international war crimes and threat of military attack upon the USA if we don’t allow them to be extradited to face charges. That’s what it will take to get our Congress to act.

If pushed into a corner over it, most Americans will admit their government is not democratic. They counter with the argument that it is in fact a Republic, or representative democracy. As if this excuses it. But the real issue is the distance between what the constitution and Bill of Rights say and the laws and how they are enforced.
When the problem was confined within America, this was "good enough". But Trump 2.0 has taken the problem global and now eight billion people can have a say and choose to take their ball and go home.. And enough will to break America, which cant support its own population with a 21st century lifestyle..😷

Our government is wack. Currently. If you are looking to reconstruct, I would pitch ideas for the 2029 campaigns.

If civil war breaks out you could hook some of us up with a 4 year Canadian visa to advocate on your behalf 😜🙃🙂

I hope the 🇨🇦 join the EU...there are talks on already....we are getting ready to ship American prisoners to El Salvador

Gulf of America is enough. Canada must remain Canadian or where will we flee to? 😆🙃🙂

The US political system has been badly corrupted by money from the very wealthy. To solve this we must prohibit campaign contributions (bribes).
Next, we must do away with the electoral college.

America is hijacked by a criminal senile old man. Laws mean nothing to the convicted felon whom is currently president. The world should isolate America for the remainder of DJT. Only economic consequences will teach U.S. anything.
Furthermore how quickly ppl forget that covid happened during trump. Seriously his cuts to health and human services resulted in a global pandemic. I wonder if he actually won the election this time. The law says it was too close to call.
Finally it is not a democracy. Its a republic with alleged democratic elections. Based on the money it takes to campaign. It is an oliharchy. With sham elections and outdated means to "safeguard" the wealthy\privledged

What were the circumstances?

We Americans actually don’t care what foreigners think about our country’s business. JS

You folks vote only for the two parties that keep getting worse. You don't want change. You just whine.

Ah, but tRUMP and his misadministration sure were quick to import the two Tate brother rapists, weren’t they?
