    what troubled me is the she was a new citizen (plenty of recent info on her); had a job here and had family here as well including a 12 year old son- all these things should have been verified. according to reports- the govt said they had "conclusive" evidence she was an impostor until of course the dna evidence.

    It took them 8 days to verify some simple information and went through the trouble of doing DNA testing. What a joke. Something similar actually happened to one of my friends crossing back into the US from Canada. They border patrol people said he didn't look like his passport, towed his car to a storage facility, and detained him for almost 24 hours. He had to provide all types of documentation to prove who he was and then paid to have his car taken out of storage plus towing fees. They charged him $60.00 an hour.

    some idiots are actually blaming her for not resembling her passport photo. they of course forget to mention that this could have been resolved by calling her employer or her family (12 year old son here in toronto)

    Harper's reign has been characterized by a refusal to take care of a certain kind of Canadian citizen. The Omar Khadr case is just as ridiculous and outrageous as this one. The Supreme Court has told his Government that they were obligated to bring him back from Gitmo twice, and all he's done is shuffle his feet and waste time to avoid complying with their ruling.

    Ugh. There's only one thing more mind-numbing than talk radio.... the call-in segments.

    You'd figure this would be standard protocol.

    How come she's asking for $2.5M if it's not about the money?

    I think she should ask for more personally and deserves compensation. She needs to be honest about it though otherwise don't ask for money.

    I lol'd at that too. She shouldn't be bashful/embarrassed about it. She was badly wronged by her own government and is entitled to compensation for what she suffered.
