PMO: Canadians with dual-citizenship to the banned countries now allowed into US

Is this only talking about Canadians; as in those who only hold citizenship in Canada? Because since Canada isn't on the banned list I'm not sure why anyone would think it's an issue.
If this is talking about Canadians who hold dual citizenship with Canada + BannedCountry, then why doesn't this ban also affect them since it's affecting Americans who hold dual citizenship with USA + BannedCountry?
Am I just misunderstanding what's happening anymore?

Originally it was thought those with Canadian and citizenship from one of the banned countries wouldn't be allowed entry. The initial reports are proving to be false.

The latest from Air Canada still that as long as you hold a passport of these countries you will not be let in. Essentially it's unclear for many, and airlines are playing it safe.

Yes, hopefully this proves true and the airlines can update their policies accordingly.
I know many people personally that this affects.

I wouldn't even consider going to a state like that. Better stay safe than sorry. Although visiting a great state like California might not be so bad.

Texas isn't really that frightening, especially if you're in the cities which are pretty damn blue and multicultural at this point.

I miss the days when Americans didn't even need a passport to get into Canada. 2008 seems like so long ago

I go to Dallas often. It's fine in some areas and other areas you just stay clear of. But even then, you can never tell what could happen in a state like that.
I visited Canada twice in 2002/03 on just my birth certificate. It'd be nice to go back, but I don't want to spend the extra money on a passport when I wouldn't be using it overseas.

apparently even flying over the states was a no, no with all the crazy hopelay
My friends cousin who has a dual citizenship was stopped in Toronto because his plane would fly over the US and the airlines wasn't sure if that was allowed

Happy that our government has been so aggressive about securing this exemption. Not so much for travel to the States but for international travel via the States to reach other destinations in Europe, South America and elsewhere.
It's not like we have much choice given our proximity. Nor is it cost-effective for many of these airlines to run direct flights to overseas hubs through Toronto or Vancouver.

Cheescake Factory ain't nothin to write home aboutI'm Guyanese and live in Toronto. I'm keeping my brown ass away from the USA as I have no desire to be profiled. Too bad tho as I'd love to go to the Cheesecake Factory
oh god, fucking nuts
Cheesecake Factory the restaurant? There must be one in Toronto.I'm Guyanese and live in Toronto. I'm keeping my brown ass away from the USA as I have no desire to be profiled. Too bad tho as I'd love to go to the Cheesecake Factory
My wife is a Canadian citizen born in Chile, and I have no doubt that we're going to run into difficulties at the border now when we try to make a day trip to Buffalo. Customs agents have been empowered to discriminate.
Nope. No locations in Toronto.

There used to be a Cheesecake Factory in Edmonton. It closed. Probably because it sucked.

I love me that red velvet cheesecake! Sure I can buy the boxed frozen version from Walmart, but it just ain't the same
If you have two passports, a Muslim one and a Canadian one, you're supposed to roll your Muslim passport as tight as possible and tie it into a balloon and then swallow the balloon, and then show the Americans your Canadian passport when they ask to see your passport.
I thought this was common knowledge since Trump got elected?

I'm not Muslim-looking in the slightest (aka: not brown) and I would avoid visiting the US unless I had to right now. With the tensions between China and the US, I would not be entirely surprised if Chinese looking people (aka: Asians) were next on the list.
America is fucked.

I'm a Ethiopian Canadian Citizen with a Muslim name living in Toronto. Traveling to the U.S. was already a pain in my ass. A few weeks ago I got offered a promotion that would have me flying into the U.S. maybe twice a month.
I know Ethiopia isn't on the banned list, but I don't really appreciate the bullshit I'll probably have to deal with. I think my bosses want to meet with me tomorrow to talk about this, and I'm guessing it'll be about whether or not I'll feel comfortable traveling to the U.S. and I honestly don't know the answer right now.

It's both crazy and sad that Canada is right now is one of the few countries in the West that isn't fucked for minorities right now.
Part of the reason is that the Canadian government has a decades old policy of promoting multiculturalism rather than integration, and as a result minorities have fit into society more organically and existing populations have become tolerant of and embraced the differences.
It's not without its problems, you have certain minority groups than tend to cluster in suburban areas and get trapped in a bubble, but people are generally happy.
