My Pillow's Mike Lindell barred from entering Canada to support convoy protestors

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/my-pillows-mike-lindell-barred-from-entering-canada-to-support-convoy-protestors

OTTAWA – My Pillow CEO and staunch Donald Trump supporter Mike Lindell, as well as a truck full of “10,000 pillows,” were denied entry into Canada Tuesday evening while trying to join Ottawa Freedom Convoy protesters, National Post has learned.

A senior government source said that Lindell, as well an accompanying videographer, were intercepted at the Port Huron-Sarnia border crossing on Tuesday evening as they were enroute for Ottawa to distribute “pillows and Bibles” to convoy protestors.

On the same day, a My Pillow truck carrying “over 10,000 pillows,” including 1,000 “Bible pillows” destined for the truckers’ children was also intercepted trying to cross the border through the Ambassador Bridge leading to Windsor, ON.

According to the senior government source, Lindell was turned back because he was not fully vaccinated and did not have a negative PCR test in hand. The source said that truck was also denied entry into Canada because the U.S. trucker did not have a valid pre-arrival PCR test.

And then tell him he can come back when he has found the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and has it in tow.

That's ridiculous. The Edmund Fitzgerald is in pieces on the Lake's floor.

Just have him bring the ship's bell back. That's good enough.

I may even have to make another video about him if he keeps this up. That first one is starting to seem obsolete by now!

In a bureaucratic nightmare, TH's character has to live in an airport until his status can be worked out. Not for hours or days, but years. He lived in a stateless no-man's-land, officially in neither country.

I think they should film a reality show with Lindell stranded in a shitty truck stop. For years.

The stateless, no-man's-land, in an airport of all things, does really sound scary.

So, if one is in a stateless environment, then they can steal, kill, etc. w/o any negative consequences?

What happens if someone has a gun, starts shooting it off? Which jurisdiction has authority (if any?).

Very, very interesting...

My question is why the US isn’t arresting them for inciting sedition and whatever it is interfering with a foreign government.

They are filled with sand and tears. Very expensive and terribly uncomfortable, but well-blessed by some of the top televangelists. The tippy-top televangelists.
