⇥ One day you wake up, and your government has gone stupid (well, stupid*er*)

I cannot, for the love of me, believe that something like this is coming out of Canada:

The travel restriction for citizens of both Mexico and the Czech Republic was announced last Monday and went into effect the following day, catching many travellers off guard before the start of vacations.

The new rule was imposed in response to the rising number of bogus refugee claims from the two countries.

I’m not sure if I’m more appalled at the fact that our government would pull a stunt like that, or at the comments that readers of the G&M have left.

Canada is one of the last countries that are truly open to immigration and despite—no thanks to—that fact, we have one of the lowest criminality rates in the world. Props to the government for its mad skillz, and to the idiots who think it has handled the situation well.
