    Canadian border guards are just as much assholes as cops are.

    Whoever decided to turn these people away should be charged and jailed.

      From the article, seems the Canadian border guard applied the rules. They are not responsible for the state of the US

    Sadly, this sort of bulllshit is common with border authorities all over the place. My wife’s Greek passport was once rejected by a British official who claimed that it must be fake because “there’s no such thing as a Hellenic Republic”.

    That’s the official name for Greece.

    I’m not sure that I would attribute this sort of thing to malice though. I think CBSA might just be perpetually hiring from the shallow end of the gene pool.
