Reply #22: Not only will this discourage tourism, but also procuring Canadian drugs

at Canadian prices. Shit, if the border patrol is equating minor violations and misdemeanors with felony convictions, they're going to keep more Americans on our side of the border than the ones that get through.

Unless. Unless you preemptively go to the court and get an expungement of records. Let's say you have a conviction for bouncing a check. Five years have passed. You go to court, requesting that conviction be erased from the records. Then you go to Canada. It only works for violations and misdemeanors, not big ticket items like kidnapping and rape.
