The Canadian government has had to warn its citizens not to carry cash to the USA because the USA does not presume innocence but guilt when it comes to money. Over $2.5 billion has been confiscated from Canadians traveling to the USA, funding the police who grab it.

If you are bringing cash to the land of the free, you will find that that saying really means they are FREE to seize all your money under the pretense you are engaged in drugs with no evidence or other charges.

It costs more money in legal fees to try to get it back so it is a boom business for unethical lawyers to such an extent than only one in sixth people ever try to get their money back and the cops just pocket it. That’s right. Money confiscated is usually allowed to be kept by the department who confiscated it.

This is strangely working its way into funding police and pensions.

This is identical to the very issue that resulted in the final collapse of Rome when the armies began to sack cities to pay for their pensions. We are at that level now with respect to seizing whatever they want knowing you will have to spend more in legal fees to assert your rights that do not really exist.

Those trying to flee tyranny elsewhere can not bring money with them for the police get to take it on this end.

This pretend war on terrorism is really a wholesale war against the people. It serves as the justification to seize whatever they desire ever since 9/11 as reported by the Washington Post.

We obviously need more brothels at home. One hot chick to get scanned into the virtual world and 23 old grannies to do the voices? Probably already been overdone eh?

Perhaps 1km this side of the real border and then let them think they are into the sinbin they think America is. Boy will they be surprised, Thieves and hookers in the same darn place, you used to get laid and then get robbed, now you just get robbed and that is being fuked (over) at the same time. lol Took them a long time to figure that one out, shucks,

Has the Canadian government warned citizens about traveling to the US? The Washington Post doesn't mention Canada and Zero Hedge provides no links.

When CBC reported this, they didn't mention our government issuing a warning.

Don't ever kid yourself. Canada - and its provinces - have no aversion to stealing your cash knowing they can afford to tie you up longer than you can afford to be tied up. Who said business has ethics?

Thanks for the warning. I was planning on carrying $500 million of my humble savings across the border. An honest guy like me would have been screwed.

Remember that game you played as a kid when everyone sat in a circle, and you whispered into the ear what you heard from the person who just whispered into your ear, and at the end, the original saying was different than what the last person said? That's the article in the OP.

It's a bunch of blog posts referencing each other and a WaPost story about police confiscating $2.5 billion from Americans (which, of course, is interesting enough). It does not show that this was the reason the Canadian government issue this warning. Instead, the Canadian government warned Canadians not to take large amounts of cash to the US because it can be difficult to do banking in the US if you're not a US citizen, and carrying around large amounts of cash is suspicious, both of which are true.

Then, a CBC commentator segues that into another reason - the police seizing money from Americans.

On its official website, the Canadian government informs its citizens that “there is no limit to the amount of money that you may legally take into or out of the United States.” Nonetheless, it adds, banking in the U.S. can be difficult for non-residents, so Canadians shouldn’t carry large amounts of cash.

That last bit is excellent advice, but for an entirely different reason than the one Ottawa cites.

There’s a shakedown going on in the U.S., and the perps are in uniform.

Across America, law enforcement officers — from federal agents to state troopers right down to sheriffs in one-street backwaters — are operating a vast, co-ordinated scheme to grab as much of the public’s cash as they can; “hand over fist,” to use the words of one police trainer.

But that's the author's reason. It's not the reason the Canadian government gave. Instead, it was extrapolated by a bunch of blogs that are a little out there.

Don't worry. Your Canadian cash is safe. Americans don't take coupons and tokens.
