Canada had to make an exception letting Trump enter the country, as a felony conviction prevents anyone else from crossing the border.
“It’s very difficult to get into Canada if you have past criminal convictions,” immigration lawyer Len Saunders told CTVNews.ca. “But I’m assuming he has a diplomatic passport, so that trumps his inadmissibility.” In May 2024, just months before his re-election, Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts in a criminal “hush money” trial involving adult actress Stormy Daniels. While Trump could have faced prison time, a fine, or probation, a judge ultimately granted him an unconditional discharge that only left Trump with a criminal record and the inglorious distinction of being the first convicted felon to be elected U.S. president. Trump, who has also launched a trade war and questioned Canada’s sovereignty, is scheduled to attend the next G7 leaders’ summit from June 15 to 17 in Kananaskis, Alta. www.ctvnews.ca/...
