So, the policy actually belongs to IRCC, not CBSA and I looked it up and read it again today since it had been a while. (Sorry, it's not publicly available/shareable.) And, I explained it wrong. For 36(1)(c) to be applied, the act does have to be an offence against the laws of the country of...

Yeah, bad formatting on my part. For 36(1)(c), the act doesn't have to be a crime in the country of origin. Female Genital Mutilation is the example I gave as it is still legal in certain parts of the world, but illegal here. Bigamy would be another as it is prohibited in Canada under CCC...

From today's Speech from the Throne: I guess Carney forgot his election promise to bolster CBSA as well, the ones who actually work the border.

Partly right. 36.1(b) covers such offences. However, 36.1(c) also covers acts, if committed outside Canada that, if committed in Canada would be an offence. Female genital mutilation is a good example. It is legal in some parts of the world, but not here. This would happen if there were...

Correct. Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: 36.2(1). A foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of transborder criminality for committing, on entering Canada, a prescribed offence under an Act of Parliament. If you're caught smuggling at the border, you are inadmissible. In the US...

I'd agree on your last point except that the Trump administration is highly supportive of 2A and are unlikely to do much, if anything, to disturb the 2A community. Trumps has already begun to roll back some Biden era gun legislation. As we like saying to Trump that the smuggling of dangerous...

The key takeaways from these articles that our government will continue to ignore are: 1. the vast majority of crime handguns in Canada are NOT domestically sourced. 2. banning legally owned Canadian handguns, which are notoriously hard to steal due to our storage laws, has only made gun...

Agreed, but I figure she stepped in it the deepest.

A classic case of go big or go home from California. https://abc7.com/post/former-westminster-police-officer-nicole-brown-charged-stealing-thousands-workers-comp-faking-disability/16487626/

I had a chance meeting with McGuinty when he swept through my workplace a few days before switching portfolios. He made an effort to talk to every officer on shift that day even though he probably knew he was on his way out. But, if he's going to survive in DND/CAF he'd better firm up his...

Likely won't happen as the new PM is still an outsider and Guilbeault is a party loyalist.

For customs purposes, non-resident status kicks in after you have not physically been present in Canada for a year, even if you are a Canadian citizen.

I'd say South Acadia would be a better name for Maine. Vermont would be called Champlain.

No more Hallmark movies in the Canadian Rockies?

Unless he sees another opportunity to influence the outcome in his favour.

Let's give credit where due. First, the Predator species were honourable warriors. Second, they saved us from the xenomorphs in two movies. Sure, they f#cked up a lot of stuff along they way, but we did try to exploit them.

There have been targeted efforts to attract the attention of alien life with powerful, narrow band radio transmissions since the 1970s. One notable effort used the Arecibo radio telescope to broadcast 10,000 Twitter messages into space (who the hell came up with that idea?). Given the...

I'm not a religious sort, but for those that are can they really believe that in the millions possibly life sustaining planets in the universe that we, humankind, are the best that the Almighty God could come up with? I believe that any alien beings out there are aware of our existence and have...

The "Olympic Loophole" was intended to show that the Liberals has "listened" to the sport shooting community and were being benevolent and considerate of legal handgun sport shooters. The unstated intent was to starve international shooting sports of new talent as the Liberals saw no need for...

I see this going the other way. Carney played his meeting with Trump as successfully diffusing the 51st state talk and now it's back. Win Poilievre.
