    Unfortunately some of us have family there, and while it’s easy to think “well fuck it I won’t go visit”, it’s not always so easy. Family gets sick, dies, etc.

      I totally get that, but it’s still a massive risk. Going to see your sick family member might mean you’ll be held in a detention center. Is it really worth it?

          Would you rather pop die alone in the hospital knowing that you’re in a concentration camp? Come on man, think.

          They are treating ordinary Canadian citizens as criminals. It will be a risk. And if you’re willing to take that risk, you have to be willing to take the consequences that are pretty much well known at this point.

              I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, but I can’t imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.

              You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.

              Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn’t want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn’t a movie.
