I have many minor arrests on my record from the late 1960s. Never had so much as a traffic ticket since 1970. Those full records are no longer available. They were once on microfilm somewhere, but seem to have been destroyed. That was all long before computers took over.
What the Canadians have, is a record they got from the USA, showing that I had some non-felony arrests before 1970 and none since. I.e. I've been 100% trouble-free for 40 years. The record does not say what the arrests were for, nor does it say if I ever was convicted of anything. They were minor, related to drinking, getting into bar fights, street-racing, etc. I've was never sent to jail, for sure. I don't know myself what I was, or wasn't convicted of. It was a long time ago, and nothing ever came of any of it.
None of this is "big news" as far as Canada goes. After the terrorist attacks in NYC (an other places), and the USA made agreements for sharing info with Canada, I called Canadian officials to make sure I'd have no problem. I was told I was fine.
Also as I stated before, I've crossed that same border many times since all this went into effect. I've been assured, over and over by Canadian officials that my juvenille record is no problem, but I'll always have that "red flag" next to my name - unless I pay them to remove it. That "red flag" means I get asked extra questions, might get my vehicle searched, etc.
On this visit, I was accused of lying. This girl-cop said I'd never been to Canada before, no one there EVER told me I was OK, etc. So, she claimed to have no record of me ever being there, yet she DID have a record of a phone call I made in 2007? Wierd!
By the way, after I was "deported" to the USA, the New York border cops looked in the same database the Canadians have. It showed every border crossing I'd made for the past couple of years. Even showed the time of day, along with the date. The New York guys told me the Canadian cop was clearly lying to save face after making a big goof.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
