Countries are in dispute over a long-standing request by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency about legal protections inside Nexus facilities in Canada

OTTAWA — The Business Council of Canada says it is concerned over the continued closure of the Nexus trusted-traveller program, which allows pre-screened travellers expedited processing when entering the United States and Canada.

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. Hyder says in his letter to Cohen that he fears the dispute will hurt businesses whose employees do not already have a Nexus card and he strongly urges the ambassador to recommend reopening the enrolment centres.

Business Council of Canada says Nexus closure 'deeply troubling' in letter to U.S.Business Council of Canada CEO Goldy Hyder says it is ‘deeply troubling’ that the U.S. government has not reopened 13 Nexus enrolment centres, in a letter to David Cohen, the American ambassador to Canada, obtained by The Canadian Press. Tell them to grow up and create an identity. It’s never too late. Maybe Canada should kiss American ass harder and join more US wars 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.

No sympathy. We warned these people exactly where their support and compliance would lead and now the chickens have come home to roost. Replacing Nexus and FAST with a new system We should reject the governments claim that they are our nannys, return to the way it was before 911. Look around your communities, does it look like the government is keeping you safe? Are there more homeless junkies terrorizing your neighborhood? But at least planes are safe?
