“Some of our crew members had charges on their records from over a decade ago that have been removed,” the message said. “Our team has regularly performed in Canada for 10 years, including two performances this year alone.”
Zac, whose band performed two shows in Toronto in June, continued, “Each time we’ve come to Canada, we have been at the mercy of a single border agent who decides who is allowed in to work, and unfortunately, not everyone was able to make it in the country last night.”
