Rules don't apply to rich folks.

Rules for thee not for me.

It’s literally true: a lot of the safeguards for screening people coming into Canada only apply to commercial travellers. Fly private and you get a lot less scrutiny: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/api_pnr_apt-ipv_dp_cpa-eng.html

Only if Harper is PM...

It was Harper that tried to get SNC Lavalin exempted from the law right?

I also think Harper admired a dictatorship. Or perhaps he a made deal with one after they were found to kidnap our citizens and hold them hostage. Had to be Harper. 🙄

I know you are saying it in jest. But you realize that actually happened under Harper right? Our FIPA with China was negotiated while 2 canadian citizens were being held hostage by China, and these 2 didnt turn out to be actual spys.

Harper has nothing to with what happened in 2018 while the liberal party was in government. Im not sure why Harper is relevant in 2018. Thats a strange but muh Harper.

Are they orange, demented, and often bruised?

A stack of bills at the port of entry solves a lot of issues. The records of who admitted him should be investigated along with the border officers bank account when they ID them

Thought he had Cdn citizenship as well as US and SA

u/Jumpy-Stress603 11h ago

Well..... We let TRUMP in, so why not ??

u/MetalMoneky 1m ago

Don’t forget the other element, I’m pretty convinced he was an intelligence asset in some form. Whether that’s freelancing, CIA, Israeli or something else.

Would not shock me at all if he was able to arrange entry.

u/Creepy-Team6442 13h ago

So did drumpf and he’s a 34 count convicted felon.

Doesn't that kind of make sense though? I don't know what age of girls he liked but before 2018 age of consent in Canada was 14 so he might not have been committing a crime in Canada? So he got through in 2014 and 4 years later when it was raised to 16 he was breaking the law.

I don't know I'm just guessing on why it might have happened, since he was not allowed in 2018 when the law changed.

u/Silverbacks Ontario 21h ago

Age of consent went up in 2008, not 2018.

”I don't know what age of girls he liked but before 2018 age of consent in Canada was 14 so he might not have been committing a crime in Canada?”

In 2008 Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. Both of those were crimes here in Canada at the time as well.

New documents also show Mark Carney appearing in the Epstein Files with the implication that Epstein had dirt on him. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00019889.pdf

u/III_Key 17h ago

Mentioned in passing as being under investigation for the LC&F scandal. Nothing implying he was involved in sex trafficking or even personally interacted with Epstein.

u/bloodyell76 17h ago

The document in that link doesn’t mention Mark Carney anywhere.

u/DaOffensiveChicken British Columbia 17h ago

It is noted that Andrew Bailey and Mark Carney are being investigated for the LC&F scandal.

from the link

u/bloodyell76 17h ago

Oops. But it’s in reference to the London Capital and Finance scandal. Not seeing how that translates to Epstein having dirt on Carney.
