Where to begin....in 2004, I was sent to jail and treated like a criminal; including anger management and thousands in fines, for a domestic violence, which was all based on what my girlfriend said at the time, and nothing with what I had to do. Anyhow, I work for an expedite company driving numerous auto parts and other materials through Canada, or to Canada; last year when my current wife and I were going to Niagra Falls for our second "honeymoon", I was denied entry into Canada, and treated like the worst criminal in the world, and escorted out of Customs in Sarnia. Keep in mind, I was getting ready to leave for Iraq, being that I'm in the US Navy Seabees, and have had 11 years of Honorable service in the US Military. I have 4 honorable discharges for mobilizations done overseas. My job requires me to be able to have access to Canada, and right now I am loosing thousands of dollars by not being able to get a FAST pass, which is what we use in the trucking industry. With my military background, and NEVER being in trouble in my life except for that one time, Canadian Officials treat my like a criminal, and barred me from entry. This is so frustrating, because I have no idea who to talk to about starting the process of getting entry on a TRP, or being able to get my FAST pass, and my lawyer and company is of no help. Everytime that I try to call someone at an embassy, or customs, they always send me to another number, and another, and so on. I am probably the most pissed about how they treated me at the border, when previously I had gone through Canada no problem (in 2006). I was just browsing and came across this site, and just wanted to voice my opinion, and see if anyone out there can point me in the right direction, or offer some kind of knowledge. I just love how "National Security" is what's keeping me out of Canada, but yet, I am the one that PROVIDES National Security to the United States, through almost 12 years of loyal and devoted service?!?!
