Please note my friends problem was over 40 years ago and he paid for his indescretions 40 years ago . Here in the States people are given a second chance and not thrown out with the dishwater.

Like others - I think your pain was self-inflicted.
The information on your friends 40 year old record would have been sourced from U.S. authorities - it is not the job of a Canadian Border Services Agent to determine, on the spot, who should, or should not, have a "second chance".

Rules around previous records, medications and Bear spray have been around for a long time and are easily researched.
