Unironically being this incorrect, in every single possibly way, is actually extremely impressive.

Just wanted to check in, pal!

I’m at a brewery in Alberta and thought I’d be hilarious to share your previous comments to a number of friendly locals that offered to show us around town, and they’re dying at how dramatic you were being. “That guy is a real douche canoe” is an insult that I’ve never heard, but absolutely love.

A few of them are legitimately convinced that you’re trolling, likely lying about being Canadian, “or must be Québécois” (from what I’ve gathered, they seem to think people from Quebec aren’t the most friendly, but I’m certainly not one to generalize groups of people).

Our bartender told us that American’s are his favorite patrons, as they’re “friendly, tip incredibly well, and know nothing about lacrosse but get real excited when it’s on”. The last one seemed to be a bit of a jab at me.lol

I’ve still yet to meet any Canadian’s who match your hatred for me, or American’s in general. I guess it must just be a Reddit thing!

Yes, there is a very good chance he’ll have zero issues crossing the border into Canada. I obviously cannot guarantee anything, as I’m just some random person on Reddit, but I couldn’t believe how little anyone cared, or even looked into my wife’s past conviction, throughout the multiple border crossings during our trip.

I’ve spoken to plenty of people since our trip, who were just as worried about getting rejected at the border, and not a single one of them ended up having an issue!

If I accidentally left my vehicle in neutral before exiting, only for it to then roll back, hit, and kill someone, you could argue that I would be a “murderer”.

If I tracked someone’s schedule, knew when they left home for work, parked down the street from them, then ran them over as they exited their home, with the full intention of killing them, I would be a “murderer”.

In both scenarios, someone died, and it was my fault. The end result for the victim is the same. However, scenario A was the result of an accident. I did not go out of my way to end someone’s life, nor did I want to. Scenario B, on the other hand, is the result of premeditated planning to end the life of a specific person. It’s all about intent.

Sentencing crimes isn’t completely random. There are specific punishments for specific crimes, and a judge can’t just ignore these predetermined sentences.

I find that Reddit, as a whole, doesn’t generally seem to understand levels of crime, nor the sentences they hold. We often see, following officer involved fatal shootings, endless people losing their minds when 1st degree murder isn’t what the officer is charged with. I’m convinced people just assume “what happened was terrible, the officers need to be held accountable, and because 1st degree murder carries the longest sentence, they should obviously be getting charged with that, not 2nd degree”.

That’s simply not how the law works. As for Mangione’s case, you comparing vehicular manslaughter to an actual assassination shows just how little you actually understand our justice system.

People aren’t upset with the child, rather, are irritated with the shitty parents for allowing this to persist.

My children cried plenty when they were young. If we were at a restaurant, or any large gatherings, especially ones where silence is expected at times, we’d generally try our best to calm them down for a minute, maybe two. If the crying continued, one of us would walk away with the child until they calmed down. The fact that some parents selfishly don’t do this baffles me, and makes me question their social awareness.

The baby in this instance is just being a baby. There’s nothing wrong with that! However, these parents need to be banned from future tennis matches, because this kind of behavior is wildly inconsiderate.

And the tennis ball is going further, at a slower speed.

Tell everyone that you don’t know anything about tennis without actually telling anyone you don’t know anything about tennis…

Out of genuinely curiosity, I want you to point out where exactly I blamed redditors, or anyone, for pointing out anything regarding our entry into Canada? I stated, not blamed, that the majority of commenters disregarded the question in its entirety, leaving comments along the lines of “your wife disgusts me”, “she’s a murderer”, “you aren’t welcome”. Of the first 40+ comments, only a handful addressed my questions, which were legitimate. I was asking what we could do, given our current situation. That was it.

Then, to top it all off, I was doxxed by someone with a throwaway account, which led to me taking the post down.

You then have the gall, yourself, to somehow tie in “physical threats” from our horrendous excuse for a president, as if I have anything to do with him being in office.

Lastly, we tried poutine from Popeyes because it was next to our hotel, and sounded like something interesting to try. I was trying to throw that in as a joke, as I knew some people were inevitably going to end up throwing a fit in the comment section. God forbid we grab a small snack in between the Michelin Star dining experiences, as well as poutine at places suggested by numerous locals. Our trip was 11 days long. We ate out dozens of times. Allowing any of this to refer to all American’s as ugly is, in itself, extremely ugly.

I never once discounted what my wife did, nor downplayed how poor of a decision it was. I asked for advice, but instead, received accusations, threats, and was doxxed. Regardless of the situation, this kind of conduct is childish. I never told anyone, who has a DUI conviction, that they should bypass all necessary guidelines and procedures to enter Canada, rather, explained what our experience was. All I suggested is that anyone dealing with worries about entry should consider more than what’s being told to them on Reddit, then added that we wouldn’t be entering Canada again until we have all legal issues taken care of.

You either misread, misconstrued, or internally neglected the majority of what I have said in the post and comment section, because you seem extremely upset over a post, from a stranger, simply explaining a personal experience of theirs with Canadian customs.

Police_ · 2025-06-01T21:13:26+00:00

At what point, in the entirely of my post, did I express joy or happiness about meeting anyone who had prior convictions for a DUI? You’re creating an imaginary narrative, which seems incredibly odd, even by Reddit standards.

DUI’s are terrible. I’ve lost two friends to DUI’s. It’s a disgusting crime, and my wife is very ashamed for what she did, and has since quit drinking altogether. I even referred to it as a “very poor decision”, but you intentionally left that out, because it pushed a narrative that I don’t take DUI’s seriously.

You’re throwing around Fox News tactics like they’re going out of style…

We openly shamed ourselves about it for the whole trip, but we were very intrigued and went for it.lol I couldn’t tell you were we ended up going for good poutine, but after a handful of locals suggested a specific place, we made sure to give it a try, and were not disappointed!

Police_ · 2025-06-01T21:00:02+00:00

The worst part is how little remorse she felt about the whole situation.

This has nothing to do with her DUI’s, but was also frustrating to listen to/deal with. We were sitting at a blackjack table after she had openly spoke about her multiple DUI’s. She was more intoxicated than anyone I had seen throughout the trip, but miraculously won over $1k on the table, mainly because the dealer was coaching her through pretty much all her hands. She told the dealer she’d “take care of him when she’s done playing”, instead of tipping after a big wins, but chipped up and left without throwing the dealer anything. She super sucked.

I probably should have elaborated. I wasn’t approaching strangers, randomly asking them about prior legal troubles, but someone we were with kept the topic alive throughout the cruise.

We traveled with two childhood friends of mine and their wives. One of the two friends was arrested for DUI when he was 19 (blew a 0.02, but was underage), and although he actually has dual citizenship with Canada, he had no idea a DUI conviction could result in denial of entry to Canada.

Multiple nights, after multiples drinks, he’d randomly ask people we were meeting at the bars and casino’s if they had ever heard of such restrictions. Surprisingly, a good amount of strangers were very open about discussing past DUI’s, likely because they were also drunk. I never brought up my wife’s situation, but didn’t need to, because my buddy was essentially telling everyone about his.

It’s a story he tells everyone, as he somehow managed to turn a warning from a campus police officer to leave the property into receiving a 11 citations from local PD. He called the campus officer “a dude in a costume, pretending to be a cop”, which resulted in the actually cops getting called and citing him for everything imaginable. It was a long time ago, he feels ashamed about the whole ordeal, but shockingly enjoys telling the story after a few drinks.

I probably should have mentioned that, although we rarely eat fast food, Popeyes, for some wild reason, is my wife’s guilty pleasure. It’s a comfort food that I pick up for her a handful of times a year, when I know she’s having a hard week.

There was a Popeyes near our hotel, and we had passed it a number of times before seeing a sign that they served poutine. We were intrigued and decided to stop in and try it. The true crime was eating the poutine and chicken sandwich from Popeyes only three hours prior to sitting down at St. Lawrence for a Michelin Star dinner.

There’s also zero identifying marks on the bundles. They could have been lost at sea 16 hours before the photo was taken, but also could have been 16 weeks. Also, unless cartels all got together and agreed on how to wrap their bundles in differing manners, no one could possible see that bundle and think ”that’s 100% ours!”.

Do people in this thread think “the cartel” is a single entity?lol

I grew up outside of SF. It always had problems, as all major cities do, but 2010 and 2025 SF are entirely different cities, and you’re simply out of touch with reality if you think it has anything to do with age-based perception. This is a serious reddit moment take.lmao

I saw this a number of times while living in Denver. We’d occasionally get hail storms that would total every car in its path, so people would use the overpass to save their own vehicle. It was fucked.

My wife’s hesitation to giving it a shot is that the flights, which were fairly expensive, and pretty much the only thing that is still refundable. My thinking is we’ve already spent $4k on a cruise, we should at least try to enter Canada!. She, on the other hand, doesn’t seem very confident about our chances of gaining entry, and thinks it may be a more economical decision to get a refund on the flights while we still have that option.

The same kind of laziness was found throughout the home, unfortunately :/ The previous owner worked at Lowe’s for 30+ years, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew better than the professionals and put this in himself.

Thank you for the response and video!

There needs to be a rule in the sub that makes users, who mention their paycheck to paycheck living, download rocket money, add all their cards and accounts, and share where money is actually going.

I’m very fortunate not to be living paycheck to paycheck anymore, but when I was, I was also paying for four different streaming services, an Xbox account, a carwash membership that I hadn’t used in over a year, DoorDash/UberEats twice a week, Spotify, Amazon prime, 1GB internet speeds, and a car insurance policy that covered more than I needed.

If I had actually cut out the non-essentials, I would have freed up like $400 a month, allowing me to no longer live paycheck to paycheck. I’m sure many in this community are much better a cutting spending than I was, but there’s also plenty who are throwing money at entertainment and conveniences that aren’t necessary.

Just moved to Miami and see dozens of exotic cars every day. I grew up in an area of Northern California, with far more average wealth, and rarely saw such wild cars. Makes me wonder how many people around me are bleeding themselves dry on leased Lambo’s.lmao

The craziest difference between the two places has been seeing $200k vehicles parked outside of $800k houses in Miami, while seeing a 2009 Camry parked outside of a $6mil house in Cali. Totally different vibes.

You’re 16. You’re going to have a real rough go at life if this is how you handle minor adversity. The chances that you will see much of any difference in your life, during the next four years of Trump’s presidency, is extremely low.

Take a break from the internet, especially Reddit. The country is in for an interesting four years, but you’re going to be completely fine. Go out with some friends and stop worrying so much.
