And yet they’re wondering why Canadians aren’t visiting the US anymore 🙄

Why would anybody want to visit a shit hole country that is hostile and doesn't want you there?

Well, I'm sure that'll really help with declining visitor volumes. /s

I’ve said it to my wife and I’ll say it again. I will never step foot on American soil ever again. They will never see a single one of my dollars to their tourism industry.

They are a fascist dictatorship and while there are places in the U.S. I’d still like to see, I’ll happily take myself and my family to better more interesting places.

Amagaca is rotten and rancid.

The National Post is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

HA HA. Like I'm ever stepping foot in that shithole again.

I'll stand at the border and they can take a picture of my ass.

So what they have been doing already, just instead of claiming to delete the photo after they confirm your identity or whatever the line was they will just keep it.

Let's help the Americans out and close the border it seems they want that.

Soon every immigrant will have to start carrying a Kennkarte.

I remember before I was a naturalized Canadian citizen and I had to go through the US border for visiting family or doing some minor business, they would interrogate me and fingerprint me all the time (they probably have my fingerprints in a database). That sucked. But I never went through any searches until recently, and it fucking sucks. I have family in the US that I cannot visit now because I feel like something really bad will happen to me with ICE if I go.

We have to do this in almost every other country.

Pretty sure this is what the EU is also introducing, instead of passport stamps and border agents.
It's 1 person sitting in a booth verifying 8+ automatic passport and "person scanner" (ie, takes a photo and fingerprints of you). Matches entries and exits to the Schengen zone. They approve you, and you pass through the gate.
Not sure about the "retention" aspect, tho. Certainly retained for the 90 days in a 180 day period thing. Beyond that? I dunno.

But any border control zone is going to have CCTV which will have its own image retention policy.

Your phone sometimes does that already
