The funny thing is that this is both whataboutism and also irrelevant. While countries can turn foreign people away at their borders for any reason under international law (unless they're in specific protected classes of people, like refugees), this ability is most often reserved for actual crimes, not calling the Commander-in-Chief bad names or whatever.
Especially when the government in question advertises itself as being a beacon of free speech and all the rest of it. So at least it's hypocritical. And again, this is whataboutism. Just because Canada does something like this doesn't mean that Canada's pants have to also do it.
