Chelsea Manning plans to dispute a ban from entering Canada, and, judging from the accompanying emoticons, seems baffled by the reason:

so, i guess canada has permanently banned me ? ✋???? @CitImmCanada denied entry b/c of convictions similar to "treason" offense ??? pic.twitter.com/xp0JOEEOGd

How will this play out? We’ll see. But Manning might be the only one surprised by it:

Well, yeah. Might also be your social media presence calling civilized nations police states. Just a guess

It appears that Canadians take treason against the U.S. more seriously than the U.S. takes treason against the U.S. https://t.co/L6MovA7Oyw
