Comments on: Mexico suspends diplomatic visa exemption for Canadians http://www.thevideoreporter.com/2009/07/17/mexico-suspends-diplomatic-visa-exemption-for-canadians/ The Video Reporter Thu, 13 Jan 2011 01:17:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Carlos http://www.thevideoreporter.com/2009/07/17/mexico-suspends-diplomatic-visa-exemption-for-canadians/comment-page-1/#comment-585 Carlos Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:55:38 +0000 http://www.mexicoreporter.com/?p=3048#comment-585 If the reason to impose a visa restriction is only that Canada cannot deal with the large amount of mexican asylum claimant applications, which, by the way, are supposedly unjustified, then it would be easily resolved by hiring more public servants. Jason Kenney, what's on your mind? Didn't we have a free trade agreement? Aren't we global fellows? How can our frontiers be open to trade but close to transit? The only loser under this policy is Canada's tourism industry. Thank you Kenney you are saving us half the annual $265 million in Mexican tourist dollars spent in Canada.

As US ex-pats in La Paz, we shake our heads in shame at the way these two governments treat their sister.
