    Chelsea Manning Barred from Entering Canada | Military.com


    Chelsea Manning, a former American soldier jailed for leaking troves of classified information, said Monday that she was banned from entering Canada due to criminal convictions in the United States.

    Manning wrote on Twitter that "i guess canada has permanently banned me," posting an image of a document that described why she was denied entry.

    The document said that Manning had committed a crime outside the country that "would equate to an indictable offense, namely treason" in Canada and which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years imprisonment.

    They probably do not want to fund his extensive expensive medical problems in addition to his being a convicted felon.

    I think Manning assumed the long-term personal consequences to him would be at worst minimal. He is now finding out his error.

    Canadian government believes DNA testing; US waffles on it.
