Canada invited Chelsea Manning to country just so she could be thrown out
The Guardian ^ | 10/7/2021 | Leyland Cecco

Canadian government lawyers recently invited US whistleblower Chelsea Manning to travel to a hearing in Ottowa – so that border agents could then physically remove her from the country.

The bizarre request, which was eventually denied by an adjudicator, was made ahead of an immigration hearing set to begin on Thursday for Manning, whose previous attempts to enter Canada have been denied.

Manning, a former US intelligence analyst who leaked thousands of sensitive government documents and diplomatic cables about the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to WikiLeaks, was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013.

Her sentence was commuted in 2017, but she was recently denied entry into Canada because of her conviction.

Border officials can deem persons ineligible for entry into Canada if they have been convicted of crimes abroad that would have led to a jail sentence in Canada of 10 years or more.

Last week, lawyers for the government asked that she travel to the country so that if the government won its case, she could be removed. Manning’s lawyers had said she would attend the hearing virtually, from her home in the United States.

Chelsea Manning - another typical, everyday Democrat. All Democrats strive to be like Chelsea Manning.

Bradley “Chelsea” Manning. He was born XY, and will die XY. There is nothing on this Earth that will change that fact.

Giving into their narcissism doesn’t change facts.
