i had to surrender it the first time i got arrested, due to a pending fed case... fortunately that never materialized, but i never got my passport returned to me.
ongoing probation/parole/incarceration over the next years made it hard to even apply.. and, when i wasn't involved with one of those problems, i had no means to travel so i just didn't bother...

If I can find an affordable plane ticket man - I'm freaking out they are all so expensive!! You don't know a good travel agent do you?

No, that's not true. You can come to Canada. The mounties love it when you visit us. 
Congrats on your newfound freedom! Enjoy it.

how exactly do they find out about your record at the border to canada? do they check everyone's background? randomly? just ask you?
i mean.. if they just ask you, isn't the correct answer, "no."?

friends in Seattle were telling us, yeah your gonna get searched, dont bring in shit (but my dumb ass thought it would be like the tijuana boarder, easy in hard out). my friend had long hair, and we were young, ya know? so they checked to see passporsts, my one friend didnt have hers. and they asked if we'd ever been arrested. we all said no. then they just typed our passport info and told us to pull into the searching area. haha, i guess my friend had been arrested once during a protest, but had forgotten. anyways, they said for at least 7 years i probably wont be let in.
