So what, do you think that Canada should have to give a reason acceptable to to the US for not letting a US citizen into Canada?

Closer call. There are parts of the US accessible only through Canada. What instance do you have in mind?

Any instance. We don't have a right to enter a country unless we are citizen of that country.

I mean, when did the US take Canada to task for not letting someone in? And what about Alaskan access?

I don't know that they ever have, I'm just stating that no one has a right to enter someone else's country. Alaska has nothing to do with anything. Americans don't have a right to transit Canada going to Alaska any more than Canadians have a right to transit the US going to Mexico. If an American who Canada finds undesirable wants to go to Alaska or Point Roberts, they would either have to fly or take a boat. Same goes for Canadians wanting to go to Mexico if the US didn't like them.
