Banning entry for a whistle blowing crime when the country where the crime happened wrote off the sentence is more important to me than her movement between progressive hero to outsider.
Calling out her crimes and placing them on the same level of rape, murder speaks to a disinformation campaign that gets unleashed but those in power.
I have no clue what her message is but why is it _so dangerous to those in power that they would try to shut her down?
- chitowneats 5y agoDespite my comment below critical of Manning's contemporary politics, I agree there is no reason they should be barred from entry to Canada.
- 8note 5y agoFrom Canada's perspective, it pisses off our auperpower neighbor. Doing that doesn't go well for canada
- chitowneats 5y agoIf that superpower didn't want Manning in Canada presumably they would have left them in prison.
- _3u10 5y agoCommutation is not a pardon. Canada lines up US charges with Canadian ones, we like the US, regard disclosing classified info as a serious crime that bars one from entry. It’s not a disinformation campaign it’s the law, you and I may not like it but it’s been this way for a long time. They aren’t singling out Manning.

What makes you think she was compared to murderers and rapists? Comments elsewhere in this thread says that people with DWIs get stopped at the border as well.
