Canadian women denied entry to US, DHS sites her private medical records.
A Canadian woman said she was denied entry into the U.S. by a Customs and Border Protection Agent who cited her hospitalization last year for clinical depression.

Ellen Richardson, of Weston, Ontario, said she intended to fly Monday to New York City on her way to a 10-day Caribbean cruise, but she said the agent working with the Department of Homeland Security told her she must first get medical clearance.

This is really disturbing. Aside from the implication of the collection of data on individuals in other countries, the whole fact we are stopping disabled traveling for leisure people from entering the US because a mental health episode may risk the safety of Americans WHEN THE BORDERS ARE OPEN TO ALL THE INSANE people who want to come across from the south.


Even more disturbing is the end of the story where it says "More than a dozen Canadians reported in 2011 and 2010 that they were denied entry to the U.S. after their mental health records were shared with DHS."

That's just idiotic. I can understand if it was criminal records. But medical? Unless they have a contagious plague, wtf?

Just wait until Obamacare (the government) has everyone's personal records and medical information.

I'm pretty sure that the US having access to Canadian citizens' private medical records is totally prohibited by the Canadian Charter (their constitution), but hey when did that stop anyone?

what can I say other than WOW just fucking WOW!

I live in a border community, but no longer travel to the US. There was a time I did and frequently .... I might add. But ever since Reagan crossing the border is hell. Years ago the border guards were kind and polite, now they treat you like a criminal. So I just say fuck it, no tourism dollars from this Canuck. I'll shop at home and I travel to other countries, but not to the US; I don't need that kind of bullshit.

The woman's meantal health issue is that some years ago she went through a bout of depression, now long over.
She is also a paraplegic and in a wheelchair.
She doesn't seem threatening in the least.

Now I get antidepressants from that experience BTW, they make a person feel no emotion, I mean sexual and everything, they numb a person. Hardly dangerous IMO. I threw them out quick when I realized that I felt nothing, walking fricken zombie.

Re: Canadian women denied entry to US, DHS sites her private medical records.
She shared her private medical information with the world by writing a book about it in 2008. CDN government did not share private health records with a foreign government.

In Canada that is a crime and the lawsuit would make someone very rich, even in Canuckistan.

Richardson is also an author who published a book, Hope for the Heavy Heart, in 2008 about her struggles with depression.

On a website promoting the book, Richardson describes how she became paralyzed from the waist down after jumping off the Bloor viaduct in a failed suicide attempt in 2001. In the book, Richardson says it was one of three occasions when she tried to take her own life.

Even when Reagan was president you could cross the border and not be bothered. We were traveling from the Canadian Rockies to Glacier National Park and there was no one at the little border toll booth. We looked everywhere. I guess since it was after 4pm that the border or park ranger went home.

The good old days before this nonsense.
