    a dui 25+ earlier.

    Thats a misdemeanor in the US.

    25+ years earlier is silly to block someone, but if “misdemeanor” means minor crime, that’s fucked up.

    Anyway, the US turns away people who have ever used weed in their lives. In Canada, it’s legal to use it regularly.

      Oh its worse you want to be able to enter Canada w/ a prior DUI you can if you pay around $10k usd for a government pardon.

      And with the 10k spent doesn’t guarantee they will approve and will keep the money… So kiddo’s don’t get a DUI if you want to go to Canada.

      As for a simple DUI in the US its a minor crime. If you hit aggravated DUI you catch a felony and you’re fucked.

      Aggravated is a high BAC, minor in the car, DUI crash with or without injuries, excessive speed while under the influence.

      There are more, the Police have plenty of ways to burn you hard if you are do something this stupid.

      I know so much as my buddy would bitch up a storm about us going up to go fishing and he can’t go.

      They almost certainly blocked most of those people because they couldn’t prove they had enough money to sustain themselves and return.
