If Canada was important we'd just buy it.

If there's a buy Canadian movement happening, Vancouver didn't get the memo.

A big chunk of the funding for my job comes from sales tax.

Thanks Canadians!

We used to make an annual trip to Fernie every season since it was a pretty close drive. It always annoyed my dad how much they tax alcohol up there. So every time we were at the border, they would ask if we had any drugs/weapons/alcohol, to which my dad would respond "just a 6-pack of Kokanee". Used to peeve the guards from what I could tell in the back seat

Heh. I remember when it was worth drinking too.

Makes more sense to lease if you can get the money factor right.

When I cross I like to tell them I have a dozen beer just to prove I can speak Canadian, eh.

Really puts into perspective how fucking stupid all this crying is about our immigration when Canada pulls this shit.

No. I have not. It was a mean joke. One drinks soda through a straw. If you are drinking something through a straw it must be soda. You were in HS do you were a child. An ice cream float is the next logical step, as mostly children drink those. I think there's a pic somewhere of mikeyb with a stout and ice cream float, actually.

I have heard since forever that drinking beer through a straw gets you more hammered. No idea why that might be, in fact until now I hadn't heard of anyone actually doing it, but here we are.

I always heard that leasing a depreciating asset is a terrible idea.

Bump...heading there in a couple weeks with the family for a son’s hockey tournament, driving but I’m sure it doesn’t make a difference.

Got charged with an Actual Physical Control 20 year’s ago but can’t remember what the final “guilty”. Reduction was but do temper losing license for 90 days. A quick google search of myself and can’t find anything.

Based on this thread, doesn’t sound like I need to be worried about getting in but figured I’d ask this group of lawyers and dentists.

Look up "deemed rehabilitated."

Holy shit, should have proof read that...

Don’t remember what the guilty verdict was but license was suspended. APC is not a driving/ moving vehicle incident like a DUI.

Again, I don’t have the records for final verdict, I think I actually settled for something less while still getting a license suspension. Google turns up nothing and was pre-9/11.

Pretty sure Canada Border Services doesn't rely on google searches when screening for admissibility. Just sayin

you can get across an unprotected border into the USA at Hyder Alaska true story

you just can't go anywhere in America from Hyder

and then you have to clear the Canadian customs to get back into Canada

Canada should ban all of the people that voted for Trump.
It would be just that much more pleasant.

Sadly, if we were to vote for our leader directly, there is a percentage of our population that would cast a vote for a Trump. I’m not sure they would apologize for it either.

I'm a non welcome southern neighbor and have traveled across the DMZ a few times successfully. Last time was 2 years ago. I make sure I'm never the driver but I've never seen the passports run through the system.. Pretty sure if they nab on an old infraction you get a one time pass. Unless you or the crossing guard is a dick. Be cool.

I didn’t imply this, merely meant meant I cannot find what I actually ended up plea bargaining to with the local municipality.

This is what I was thinking...something to be said with me not being a douche in the border crossing situation, traveling with my family and it happening 20 years ago, but that’s an assumption.

IME the Canadian border agents are welcoming to a family carload on a holiday. Turning back old DUI's is a low priority as it's bad for business. OTOH, the Barney Fife's on the US side can be dicks. I've been pulled out of the car twice. Once coming back from a sales call when my partner didn't keep his mouth shut and mentioned the samples we were bringing back in the trunk. The other time was when I crossed as a hitch hiker sporting a peacoat ponytail "hiippy" look and caught a ride crossing the border with this guy.

Hey kids, I’m gonna resurrect this thread, and seek advice from you fine people. (Always the best Idea, right?)
So 11+ years ago when I was a drunken fool, I got two DUI’s in a three year period. (I have been sober since, thanks!).
Is there any possibility of ‘rehabilitation’, and if so, what is the best way to proceed?
Are there any good lawyers that specialize in this?
Willing to throw some decent money at the problem (but so are lots of assholes like me:biggrin:).
This is all post-Covid speculation, of course. Is 11 years enough, or is it forever?
EDIT: perused a bunch of official info, seems like it’s possible, but a time consuming process..
But perhaps with the border closed there is significantly less workload? .
Would love to hear some first hand or anonymous accounts of success!

I know someone who has a 10+ year old weed misdemeanor charge. They still putting the hammer on Americans trying to enter Canada with those kinds of minor non-DUI related charges?

So, you hosers, my application to re-enter Canada was approved today! It took almost two years to process due to COVID. So psyched! Poutine in Squamish next summer!
