Popped out this afternoon a bit just to run some errands. Listened to the radio. Learned something interesting.
Apparently, at present, HIV positive individuals wishing to enter the United States via the Canadian border are barred from doing so - the example was a man in November who was straight-up told by a border official, "you are not welcome here."
The joys of the old administrations, I suppose. In any case, people are realizing this isn't cool, and border cities all across both countries are having protests this Sunday. Apparently the travel ban is already pretty close to being overturned, but that's just going by what I've read these past 20 minutes.

Kinda interesting. Here's hoping it ends well.
