Why the fuck would you cross a border into a neofascist country (of which you are not a citizen) with the express intent of protesting the regime, and provide that as the reason for the trip, and then be surprised by this treatment?

Because Americans were allowed to cross the border and join the Ottawa convoy and attempts at sedition at other border points? The 911 system in Ottawa was collapsed by US callers.
