Dear Editor:

One can only be amused by the Canadian idea of border security as it was evinced during the recent shoot out at the Blaine crossing.

From the CBC news service:
“CBC News has learned that when unarmed Canadian border guards found out the murder suspects were coming their way, they left their posts at two crossings along the B.C. border: the Peace Arch crossing at Douglas, which was closed for a while, and the Pacific Highway Truck Crossing, to which traffic from Douglas was diverted.

Supervisors were left at each crossing to protect the Canadian side.

A spokeswoman with Canada Border Services says the guards have the legal right to refuse to work if they believe they are in imminent danger. “

It should be noted that “supervisors� are unarmed as well.

Lumber jacks with mascara, it took a brutish, insensitive and probably non-inclusive Deputy Sheriff with, (gasp!) a gun (!) to ram the murder suspect’s car and engage in and win a shoot out.
The “future� is Canada say the liberals, we must be more civilized and like them to become full citizens of the world, yada yada yada…..Paging Mr. OBL, paging Mr. OBL!
