The specifics of this case are largely irrelevant to me, the fact is I am scared to cross the border into the US at this point.

For the foreseeable future I will not be travelling to the US for any reason. Canada is safe and there is nothing in the US worth risking my freedom for. I will remain here and I will continue to avoid travel to America as well as spending money on American goods/services.

The specifics are seemingly irrelevant to everyone. She had her work visa revoked at the Canadian border because her company in California was allegedly making THC beverages in violation of federal law. She was told to visit a consulate to straighten it out.

Instead she flew to Mexico and tried to enter there with new and obviously fake job offer. She was treated like anyone else would, but it’s international news because she’s a pretty white woman.

What about the new job offer makes you think it is fake?

You run a company in LA. Your visa is revoked. You show up at a different border shortly after with a novel job offer. Is it a genuine job offer or are you going back to run your company?

"stayed in Canada for the next few months, and was eventually offered a similar position with a different health and wellness brand."

When i google "holy water" first few links for me are some sort of THC infused liquid. But i think this person was working for one without thc?
