Travel Ban: Trudeau Government and John Kelly

travel ban: Fallout from the Trump administration's crackdown on asylum seekers and its travel ban on people from half a dozen Muslim countries risks making crossing the border more difficult and certainly more worrisome for many Canadians, according to Toronto Star. The Trudeau government needs to make clear to Trump's Homeland Security secretary, John Kelly, the importance of easy cross-border travel when he visits Ottawa this week. Graham Hughes / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Star Editorial Board Tues., March 7, 2017 There's a chill along the border between Canada and the United States, and it has nothing to do with the weather. And it should encourage Americans, especially those in neighbouring states that also value good cross-border relations, to speak out against the Trump administration's misguided policies that are throwing unnecessary roadblocks in the way of Canadians trying to travel south. So far about half a dozen cases have become public a tiny number among the tens of thousands of Canadians who cross the border on an average day. One of the most troubling developments is an emerging pattern of Canadians being denied entry to the United States for no apparent reason other than their ethnic background.
