With friends like US, Canada doesn't need enemies. All the trade
bull**** you people pull in spite of having treaties and agreements in
place. We bent over backwards on 9/11 when hundreds if not thousands
of
americans had to land in Canada from overseas flights, we took you into
our homes where-ever you landed, and still we're treated like North
Koreans at the US/Canada border.


Home Guy:

That's because there are very many different Canadians with very many
different agendas.

Don't tell me you don't remember that Episode in Seattle where a guy
wanting to drive to the Los Angeles Air Port had a bomb hidden in the
trunk of his car?

Don't tell me you don't remember when both Canadian and American border
guards had trouble keeping Canadian natives from smuggling tax exempt
cigarettes from Canada into the US to be sold on the black market?


And likely 50 times more were smuggled north by the same groups.

And, I suppose you haven't heard about Canadians in BC trying to smuggle
marijuana across the BC/Washington state border?


And there has been as much American dope smuggled into Canada (mostly
before BC developed the "better" strains - which are now grown also in
Oregon and Washington

The vast majority of Canadians consider Americans to be friendly
neighbors, and vice versa, but the border services are there to try to
identify and stop the few who are intent of exploiting that good will to
smuggle drugs, guns, people and terrorism across the Canada/US border.


In both directions.
