Hidden in all this is the sad fact that you Yanks have allowed a paranoid administration to gain far more info into your private affairs then ever should have been allowed. You've also allowed them to do their best to sabotage one of the world's great trading relationships.

While the world's longest undefended border should have been held up to the rest of humanity as the best of what can be done between nations, it is instead seen as some horrible, scary, thing by idiots in both parties. This despite the fact it has served both countries well for well over a century(Whaddya bet there are still some on this board who believe 911 was perpetrated by people coming from Canada?).

Welcome to Fortress America.

I still dont blame canada.
I think idiots--if there were just 100 of them involved with the enforcement of this, 90 come from the USA--have started to gain a serious footing within certain positions that are creating a growing problem.

how will people from anywhere ever get to move on and do anything in their lives if this does not stop right now?

Of course, the attitude of that Canadian Border Services Agency Spokesman Derek Mellon is a bit cras, but hey, that's the cop/bouncer mentality infiltrating the masses!

(He's got to be a republican even if not an american )
