They are also apparently going to use this information to ban Canadian travelers based on their jobs or affiliations, which brings us full circle back to "why are we 'whatabouting' this?"

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
You asked for a source from someone who's point was border agents on both sides have always had the authority to search laptops, etc, and now you're pointing out that border agents are doing it?

So is your point that his has only happened/been allowed to happen since 2017? Cause that's not right at all.
