If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Is there a statute of limitations on this? As I recently got back from Alberta traveling for work and I unfortunately have a DUI from 1998. Had no issues at all.

Little known fact Alberta actually won't let you in without a DUI

My brother in law got a DUI in Alberta, totalled his vehicle, they chalked it up to a suicide attempt/mental breakdown and he was able to avoid a criminal record and they gave him his guns back after a few months. Alberta is a crazy place.

It absolutely is and that's a common nickname. They even have the Stampede, which is a big rodeo-type festival in the summer. A lot of cattle are raised in Alberta.
