Article in today's paper here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1516454/
And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who happened to be in Stanstead on Friday to announce a new hockey arena, voiced concern over the border incidents. Earlier this month, a Nova Scotia couple who had just dropped their son off at a hockey tournament in Quebec were detained and fingerprinted after accidentally crossing into the U.S. at Church Street.
“We share all the same security concerns as our American friends,” Mr. Harper said. “I think we have to keep making the point to our American friends that it’s essential that our borders be bridges between us and not barriers.”

If the gates were in place to stop people who are unfamiliar with the area from making the mistake of crossing there and directing them to the Port of Entry that is less than 500 yards away why is that a bad thing? Neither Government is telling the people they have to drive miles away instead. You can disagree all you want the reality there is an international border there and you can't cross it where ever you like. How often as an El Paso Pilot do you just cross the border where ever you like?
By the I feel warm and fuzzy that I get to be a resident here.

Are you seriously defending someone for crossing into Canada illegally? He'd be crossing back illegally too and apparently has done this numerous times. This isn't something that is completely unknown to people who live in such a small distance from the border.
This is about as bad as the guy who complained that he couldn't board a plane with his library card.
Did you even think about this before you posted? At all?
I agree that this doesn't have anything to do with the TSA. They are both government agencies and that's it.........Assuming the story the guy told is true the chance that it will end badly for him is zero. Common sense will prevail.
