You know how it is. Canada sent troops to Afghanistan without guns. They refuse to have missile defense protection from the US. It makes sense that Canada is up north of us. It's like having a crazy uncle in the attic.
I think Canada is more and more becoming a security threat to the US. Not only will they not cooperate with us in the defense of the continent, their lack of defense of their own territorial integrity will open up channels for terrorists to infiltrate to the United States.
3 officers to secure the whole area and ports 7 days a week? No officers at night or sea patrols on the weekend? Thats so inadequate that there might as well be none.
I saw a special report on the officers at the eastern ports and how they are overrun with calls since there is only one officer at a time. They are overworked and therefore have poor moral and not in any shape to do their job in that state. They have to cover an area that is impossible to manage for one person.
Typical "we trust everyone" liberal attitude
Let's be clear, none of the 19 came from Canada - we let them into the U.S. ourselves. Let's not be blaming other folks for our own misdeeds...
Halifax has already been blown up once IIRC, when an ammunition ship went up during WWI. Hard for terrorists to do worse to the place than what happened then. That is their problem. Ours is whatever comes south via Halifax. We need to maintain our own adequate security over the border to our north as the spineless and toothless Martin government clearly won't protect us. We also need to diligently check ships arriving in the US via Halifax.
