Why was Jeffrey Epstein allowed into Canada in 2014?

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, travelled to Vancouver despite being inadmissible, according to a CBC story this morning.

He had pled guilty six years earlier and served an 18-month jail sentence on two prostitution charges, including soliciting prostitution from a minor. Crimes that should have prevented him from entering Canada. Federal government officials are not saying why he was allowed into the country.

Documents confirming Epstein's travel to Vancouver in 2014 were among the three million pages released by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday from its probe into allegations the convicted sex offender ran a child sex trafficking operation catering to the rich and powerful.

You’ll notice there’s no poor or middle class on Epstein’s list. But lots of politicians and business tycoons.

Epstein is a U.S. citizen. His crimes should have stopped him from getting into the country because he had been convicted of at least one crime that would constitute an indictable offence under Canadian law.

Documents released Friday show he had travel reservations to Vancouver from March 17 to 20, 2014, to attend the TED conference there. He booked a massage at the Four Seasons hotel. We all know about his massages.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection document released last month indicated that Epstein flew from Vancouver to Seattle on March 20, 2014.

According to a 2018 letter from the Canadian consulate in Los Angeles, Epstein was denied a temporary resident permit that would have granted him an exemption from travel to Canada despite his record.

Yet, Epstein was able to travel in and out of Canada despite having these convictions on his record. Could he have been trying to set up a sex trafficking base in Vancouver?

Why was he allowed to enter the country on that trip? Federal officials aren't saying.

Our law is very clear: any person (including U.S. citizens) with a criminal record is not allowed into Canada, and these provisions must be rigorously enforced.

Think of how many vulnerable Canadian girls could have been harmed by this monster.

Who was the person who let him into Canada?
