Canadian Travel Alert

[Desert185]

Here's an alarming development. I believe this to be pertinent to Americans traveling within Canada when an American is detained for notes in his iPad to be used for an invited speech. I actually find it quite shocking.

I don't believe that, for one second, that any law-abiding and "regular" Americans travelling in Canada, have anything to worry about. If they have been granted permission at the border to enter our country, then they should feel free to travel without fear of being detained, questioned, or watched.

However, if they are here at the request of some odd-ball, ultra right-wing fanatical group who are "anti" whatever and their message is one of hate or fear mongering then we have every right - just as you do - to have a look at their "notes".

I guess if these reports that you used as references appeared on Facebook, then they must be true. :rolleyes:

Finally, your post and mine are borderline political in nature and, as such, are not allowed on this forum. My apologies - I should know better.

Relax. Come to Canada and help us celebrate our 150th birthday on July 1st. I promise you, no one will demand that you hand over your iPad.

I quite agree that this has no bearing or function on this forum.

Close the thread and let folks view the experience via the video of the person who was invited to speak and had his notes confiscated. Folks can decide for themselves. We're all big boys here.

While I love an intriguing post as much as the next guy, I am going to close this thread due to its potential to lead others into breaking a lot of our forum rules. If you want to watch the videos or read the background material, have at it. If you want to comment further or discuss, well, the forum is not the place to do that. Now if you want to PM each other, have at it. As of now, this one is closed. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this a family friendly place to discuss the camping lifestyle.
