Simple. The matter would go through the courts in Canada.

What is your point?
I'm not sure what his point is but it is hard to vet when people come from a place where records were never kept or the records were destroyed by war.

And this deals with the OP's statement that "Canada bans Americans from visiting if they have a DUI" how?

Canada keeps criminal records. The US (and its states) keep criminal records. Neither country's criminal records have been destroyed by war. In this discussion, no other countries were specifically mentioned or have been discussed, except in a nebulous sense ("all Western countries"). What does your statement have to do with the OP?

Where is the outrage? This decades old policy is highly discriminatory against Americans who expect no loss of rights over past DUI offenses. Even former President Bush needed a waiver!

What American rights do you think you are supposed to have in Canada?

Well, those people should be banned and Canada got nothing to lose from not having these visitors.

Plus as pointed out, the "Rights" you think you should have in America don't apply in Canada. Canada decides what kind of people it wants in or not. For a foreigner entering Canada is a privilege the Canadian government decides, not a right. If you want such right, stay in your country.

I take it you won't complain like the O/P when you get turned back at the border then?

Tho back to Canada with its DUI driver ban: that's going too far IMHO but; it's still their country.
No one argues their right to be here? The OP said "americans dont like to have their rights..." what americans like is most likely inconsequential to their immigration policies, there is also the fact that it isnt your right, now if you want to ask for political asylum I think they will let you in and hear you out, I would keep all alex jones related arguments to yourself if i were you
