00:00:00.000 CBSA says the program historically attracted about 11,000 participants each year, with roughly 90% of them being Americans.
00:00:08.940 Trump imposed brand new border rules on Canada, and honestly, it was only a matter of time.
00:00:14.600 I mean, with Canada causing up to China and acting hostile towards the United States,
00:00:19.440 it's no wonder Washington is finally putting its foot down and no more special treatment for Canadians.
00:00:24.400 But the Canadian government isn't sitting quietly.
00:00:27.980 They're retaliating fast.
00:00:30.000 Rolling out border changes that will hit Americans, too.
00:00:33.540 Buried in this political move is a detail, one detail,
00:00:37.580 the Canadian government does not want Canadians paying attention to,
00:00:41.040 and it's about to drastically change U.S.-Canada relations.
00:00:45.280 The country's Department of Homeland Security said,
00:00:47.940 ultimately, this provides DHS with more reliable information
00:00:51.600 to verify identities and to strengthen its ability to identify criminals
00:00:55.520 and known or suspected terrorists.
00:00:58.540 U.S. officials also say the change will ensure travelers are not overstaying their visas.
00:01:03.480 I mean, that makes sense.
00:01:04.620 When you take into account the fact that Canada has become a country that allows the worst of the worst to get visas and enter the country. 0.73
00:01:13.700 People from problem countries have come into Canada in droves. 0.84
00:01:19.160 And a lot of them are becoming Canadian citizens. 0.55
00:01:21.500 So it's only a matter of time before the United States began cracking down on Canadian citizens.
00:01:27.920 Canadians for the longest time enjoyed a great privilege when it comes to traveling to the
00:01:33.560 United States. Literally, you go to an airport, to an American airport, and there be a sign that
00:01:39.160 said American citizens and green card holders and then Canadians. And then there was a sign for
00:01:45.360 everybody else. This is literally any of you who have traveled using an American airport will know
00:01:51.240 this. There was American citizens, green card holders of the United States, Canadian citizens,
00:01:57.200 and then everybody else. Didn't matter if you were British from the UK, Irish, from Switzerland,
00:02:03.420 didn't matter where you were from, French. It was Americans, American residents, Canadians,
00:02:10.460 and then everybody else. Canadians have lost that privilege now, unfortunately, and that is thanks to
00:02:16.080 mass immigration policies, unvetted mass immigration policies by the liberal government
00:02:22.700 in the past 10 years. I'm really not sure how they're going to be able to do this at the land
00:02:27.720 ports of entry between the United States and Canada, especially when you have, you know,
00:02:32.760 cars with three, four, five people. Facial biometrics will be used to match a traveler's
00:02:37.720 photo with existing passenger info that the U.S. government has on file. Travelers passing through
00:02:42.940 American airports likely will have their photos taken during check-in, but the policy is expanding
00:02:47.580 so that travelers will be photographed when leaving the States as well. Just making things
00:02:52.280 harder for everybody else to appease a certain portion of the american population photos of u.s
00:02:58.440 citizens will be held for 12 hours but facial biometrics of all other travelers including
00:03:03.560 canadians could be held for up to 75 years wondering why that they have to keep that long
00:03:09.720 it opens many doors which are not necessarily especially these days the more personal information
00:03:16.440 that is collected and retained with the growth of A.I. U.S. courts have always ruled that individuals
00:03:25.720 entering the United States don't have the same constitutional protection that an individual who's
00:03:31.400 actually within the United States has. So border inspections has always been an exception to
00:03:36.360 warrants or those other types of searches. The Canada Border Services Agency also uses facial
00:03:41.320 recognition technology on a voluntary basis to help verify identities of incoming travelers
00:03:46.280 through its kiosks at select airports some believe a similar travel policy could be implemented here
00:03:52.040 in the country one day that all that might be exactly what the problem is is that canada has
00:03:57.080 this porous border right canada has these people coming in that shouldn't be coming into the
00:04:02.120 country and then you have suspected terrorists heading south from canada into the united states
00:04:08.920 to commit their crimes in the U.S.
00:04:12.660 And that has happened one too many times.
00:04:14.260 There are people in Canada currently
00:04:16.460 who are in U.S. no-flight list
00:04:18.380 who are suspected terrorists.
00:04:20.440 The United States has been raising those alarms
00:04:22.360 with the Canadian government to no avail.
00:04:24.580 It's not like they're doing much to improve that
00:04:26.920 while they should, right?
00:04:29.600 Why is it that we didn't have these problems 10 years ago
00:04:32.140 before Trudeau became the prime minister?
00:04:34.700 It's because the liberals have literally ruined
00:04:36.860 every single positive thing about canada including our very close relationship with the united states
00:04:42.840 where we could travel back and forth canadians were basically like american citizens that's how
00:04:48.780 we were treated when we crossed the border very few questions you could just drive on through
00:04:53.680 at some point if you go far back enough it's just a driver's license and you cross into the united
00:04:58.600 states and it's gotten more and more stringent because of people letting just anyone in comes
00:05:05.140 down to responsible, careful use by properly regulated law enforcement. And this is on top
00:05:11.300 of the fact that Canadians now need to register and get their fingerprints taken if they're staying
00:05:15.400 for more than 30 days, which they never had to do before. Canadians were able to stay up to six
00:05:20.880 months without registering anywhere, but that just ain't the case anymore. And the liberal government
00:05:26.860 has decided to retaliate by targeting Americans who use a program mostly designed for rural areas.
00:05:33.620 Think about Americans who come up here for hunting and such, as well as those who live in this very small town, which is a part of Minnesota.
00:05:41.720 But you can only access it by land if you go through Canada.
00:05:45.240 Otherwise, you need a boat.
00:05:46.840 OK, so here's the report on the Economic Times.
00:05:49.400 Canada cracks down at the border and in remote crossing option many Americans used.
00:05:54.960 Canada is preparing to shut down a little-known border program that quietly allowed thousands of travelers to cross into remote regions without stopping at a customs post.
00:06:05.480 The move will mostly affect Americans who regularly enter northern Ontario and southeastern Manitoba.
00:06:13.040 Officials say tighter oversight is the goal, but users remain uneasy.
00:06:19.200 What was the remote area border program?
00:06:21.600 commonly known as rabc allowed pre-approved canadian and u.s residents to cross into certain
00:06:27.960 remote parts of ontario and manitoba without reporting to a staffed custom checkpoint instead
00:06:34.300 permit holders could freely enter designated areas under an annual authorization issued by the
00:06:40.080 canada border services agency as per a report by the national post the program covered five
00:06:46.760 sparsely populated border regions in Ontario. This included Cogburn Island, the Sault Ste. Marie
00:06:52.680 Upper Lock System near Michigan, waterways stretching from the Pigeon River to Lake of
00:06:59.740 the Woods and the entire Canadian shoreline of Lake Superior. The program also applied to
00:07:05.020 Minnesota's Northwest Angle, a geographically isolated area bordering southern Manitoba.
00:07:13.140 That's that little town I told you guys about that's affected now. CBSA says the program historically attracted about 11,000 participants each year, with roughly 90% of them being Americans, as per a report by the National Post.
00:07:29.200 So that's what's happening here. You got the Canadian government retaliating by going after that program, which affects, like the report says, 90 percent is Americans. It's about 11000 people that use that program, mostly in rural areas, probably fishermen as well. And then people live in all those small towns. And they're now basically canceling it. It's going to be canceled as of September 2026. And you better believe this is in retaliation to what President Trump is doing south of the border.
00:07:57.960 So you basically have this border tension now with both sides, both governments imposing new rules that affect their citizens.
00:08:04.620 Do you think the United States is right in trying to increase their security measures at the border with Canada, imposing new rules on Canadian citizens?
00:08:13.340 Let me know what you think in the comments.
00:08:15.140 Thanks for watching. See you in the next one. Peace.
