Business Council of Canada says Nexus closure 'deeply troubling' in letter to U.S.

The two countries are in dispute over a long-standing request by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency that its agents be afforded the same legal protections inside Nexus facilities in Canada that they currently have at ports of entry like airports and the Canada-U.S. border.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino has cited the principles of Canadian sovereignty in explaining why U.S. customs officers can't have the same legal protections at the Nexus centres that they do at airports and the border. Hyder says in her letter to Cohen she fears the dispute will hurt businesses whose employees do not already have a Nexus card and she strongly urges the ambassador to recommend reopening the enrolment centres.

Canada’s envoy to the U.S., Kristen Hillman, said last week the trusted-traveller program is being "held hostage" by unilateral American efforts to renegotiate the 20-year-old preclearance agreement between the United States and its northern neighbour.

I don't blame the Americans for not fixing the issue. I wouldn't want Canadians in America if I was American. I'm Canadian and I know how NASTY we are.🤔

Something needs to be done about this program because once everyone has Nexus, no one does.

States see that Canada is done as a country, so there is no point of negotiating now. They will deal with what ever will be post Canada, either few more independent countries or stateless territory.

The Biden administration hates Canada. There is still COVID-19 restrictions even after Biden said the pandemic was over. Trump was a better ally.

If Canada would get it’s head out of its butt, they’d continue to let the US border guards be armed and this would be over. Instead our virtue signalling government continues to try and deflect from their own shortcomings

'deeply troubling'

If Canadians want Nexus and easy access to the US, then give them what they want. If you tell then to go screw themselves, then they will say the same.

Maybe Canada should kiss American ass harder and join more US wars

Tell them to grow up and create an identity. It’s never too late.
