This is just stupid!!!! Canada is absolutely disgusting!! I am extremely ashamed to be a part of this backward country! People can walk into our country on a daily basis but a CDN citizen has to be DNA tested to get back home!

I hope she sues the pants off Canada!

Umm, ashamed to be part of this backward country? That's just not true moni - Canada is not a backward country.

Yes of course it's my opinion, I wrote it

You just insulted our country - in my opinion that is in poor taste. What the customs officers did was wrong - throwing the woman in jail was wrong etc etc - but I don't think that makes the entire country 'backwards'.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you?

Maybe I am misunderstanding you - or maybe you could give other examples?

I am a CDN citizen born and raised so don't feel too bad! Canada needs lots of help they are trying though I can give them that much, but they have a long way to go!!!

I will not give examples at this forum takes things way too personal and I don't have the energy to debate with anyone as it won't make a difference, at the end of the day the country needs a major revamp!

I wasn't questioning your citizenship moni. So no debate, that's fine - while I personally find your post offensive, you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

Oh don't take it offensively, I just think it is disgusting what she went through and I mean for a so called upstanding country like Canada to do this, it leaves an extremely bad taste in my mouth. Your a CDN citizen you show all your ID and they say ur lips dont match that is the craziest ish I have ever heard!!!

I'm going to clarify what I said - not for debate purposes.

Here is the thing. One or two customs officers did something extremely stupid. Obviously other 'officials' jumped on the band wagon - stupid yes - indicative of a whole country - no.

Just because a handful of Canadians do something incredibly stupid, that does not make the whole country....incredibly stupid.

If you apply your reasoning to other situations - all countries are backwards. However, that is what I meant when I said I must be misunderstanding you - this obviously isn't about this woman - you just dislike the country as a whole.

Not sure why this is racist?? has anyone seen what her passport pic looked like in comparison to her?? Their is a lot of passport fraud in the world. Now the govt could have been a lot faster at sorting this out, but we all know the govt only acts fats when they want $$$$,lol And I would think when they do find someone with a "stolen" passport, they would arrest them. But as I stated before, it could have been handled better.

It was definitely a biased situation, there is not way it should have taken that long and a DNA test #######??????? I am sure everyone that comes into Canada w a fake passport doesnt go thru DNA testing that takes three months.

Canada does not deserve the benefit of the doubt in this one!!!

They are dead WRONG!!!!

Where are the facts that they were wrong at first? Yes they were proven wrong in the end by DNA. I'm no expert with regards to Kenya, but i'm lead to belive it isnt a technology advanced place. Just doing a quick google check, a DNA test can take 2-4 weeks. Unlike TV shows such as CSI, test results are not immediately available.

And do border guards "profile" people?? I'm sure they do, as their is actual facts that state certain people from certain countries are more likely to attempt to gain illegal entry into a country. Don't get mad at the people enforcing the rules, get angry at the people that are breaking them, and giving those people a bad reputation.

As I stated before, it could have been handled better and a bit faster, but ur not going to see lightning fast results as one sees on TV.

Not sure what you mean by "Canada doesnt deserve the benefit of doubt on this one?" I'm not trying to be ignorant, were all allowed our opinions. Canada owes it citizens a safe place to live, and if they believe someone is in possession of an illegal document, it is within in their right to act, but could have been a bit faster. Hopefully they will learn from this and others should check their passport pic to see if it still a valid looking picture.

While I pretty much agree with you flames - I mean what do we know about the facts really - I do believe that this woman was not treated with respect. She should have been presumed innocent until proven guilty - not thrown in jail.

She is a canadian citizen, regardless of where she was born she is a citizen of Canada. Canada called her an imposter and cancelled her passport, is that normal?
