American Man Denied Entry into Canada

An Illinois man is speaking out after being denied entry into Canada at the Fort Frances border crossing last month.
55-year-old Paul Pepper was part of a bus tour headed for the Temple Bay Lodge at Eagle Lake and was questioned about a criminal report dating back to 1972.
Pepper claims charges laid were eventually dismissed, but he was denied entry and forced to walk back to International Falls.
Pepper has written to a variety of government agencies and the Canada Border Service Agency, but so far has not received any response.
