Vous vous souvenez peut-être de mon fils Adam. Il était dans la section Actualités de La Presse en juin 2016, portant le fameux chandail bleu-blanc-rouge du Canadien.

Non, il ne jouait pas pour le Tricolore. Adam, 6 ans à l’époque, a été repêché par la liste d’interdiction de vol du Canada. À chaque voyage, nous ne pouvions pas nous enregistrer en ligne, ce qui nous obligeait à nous rendre à l’aéroport plus tôt. Une fois, à l’étranger, nos passeports ont même été confisqués.

Vous vous souvenez peut-être de mon fils Adam. Il était dans la section Actualités de La Presse en juin 2016, portant le fameux chandail bleu-blanc-rouge du Canadien.

Non, il ne jouait pas pour le Tricolore. Adam, 6 ans à l’époque, a été repêché par la liste d’interdiction de vol du Canada. À chaque voyage, nous ne pouvions pas nous enregistrer en ligne, ce qui nous obligeait à nous rendre à l’aéroport plus tôt. Une fois, à l’étranger, nos passeports ont même été confisqués.

La situation a atteint son paroxysme en décembre 2015 quand Adam et moi étions en route pour la Classique hivernale Canadien-Bruins.

Puisque notre voyage semblait en prolongation, j’ai discrètement pris une photo de l’écran du bureau d’enregistrement, montrant Adam sur le banc des punitions.

J’ai tweeté sur la situation, des articles ont paru en anglais et en français, et tout a dérapé. Weniger anzeigen

You might remember my son Adam. He and I were on the front page of the Montreal Gazette sports section wearing the famous red, white and blue jerseys of the Canadiens in January 2016.

No, we weren’t skating for the Habs. Adam, who was six at the time, was falsely flagged on Canada’s no-fly list. Every time he travelled, we couldn’t check in online, we had to go to the airport much earlier and once while travelling internationally, our passports were confiscated.

No, we weren’t skating for the Habs. Adam, who was six at the time, was falsely flagged on Canada’s no-fly list. Every time he travelled, we couldn’t check in online, we had to go to the airport much earlier and once while travelling internationally, our passports were confiscated.

The situation came to a head in December 2015 when Adam and I were on our way to the NHL Winter Classic game in Massachusetts featuring the Bruins and the Habs. He was flagged — again — and as a long delay was underway, I discreetly took a photo of the check-in agent’s screen showing Adam’s status.

I tweeted about the situation, the Gazette article appeared, and all hell broke loose. Hundreds of families from across Canada contacted us, as did adults who also found themselves on the no-fly list. Weniger anzeigen

It’s New Year’s Eve and our six-year-old son is teeming with excitement to go watch his beloved Montreal Canadiens play in the NHL Winter Classic.

Before he can board the flight from Halifax, he must wait to be cleared to fly by Air Canada. He was flagged on the Canadian no-fly list.

Having experienced this same scenario numerous times since Adam was six weeks old, we tweeted asking Air Canada why our six-year-old Canadian-born child was on the DHP (“deemed high-profile”) no-fly… Mehr zeigen

It’s New Year’s Eve and our six-year-old son is teeming with excitement to go watch his beloved Montreal Canadiens play in the NHL Winter Classic.

Before he can board the flight from Halifax, he must wait to be cleared to fly by Air Canada. He was flagged on the Canadian no-fly list.

Having experienced this same scenario numerous times since Adam was six weeks old, we tweeted asking Air Canada why our six-year-old Canadian-born child was on the DHP (“deemed high-profile”) no-fly list. We attached a photo taken two weeks before of a check-in agent’s screen while she was making the call to security.

We had no idea that one tiny tweet would generate national attention and inquiries from international media. That attention and support from Canadians galvanized us as we set off on a six-month journey to uncover the truth... Weniger anzeigen
