If you’re a visitor heading to Europe for a short stay, you’ll need to sign up for the EES, a new automated IT system. A “short stay” refers to a visit to Europe lasting up to 90 days within 180 days. Registering for the EES is mandatory, regardless of whether or not you require a visa to travel to Europe.

Any traveller who crosses the external borders of any of the 29 European countries listed below will be required to register.

Don't go. We don't have a right to go to other countries. If we don't like their rules it's simple don't go.

Sure, maybe I won't.

If Canada did this to casual foreign visitors I'd also be pissed.

I want to remember being fingerprinted at a Canadian airport the one time I had a layover there in 2018.

This is all pretty common these days.

If that's true, I'm pissed, as promised.

As a dual Canadian-EU citizen, I say bollocks.
