The Canada Border Services Agency says it has intercepted 318 guns so far in 2005, below the more than 1,000 seized guns that border guards have averaged annually during the past five years, and far fewer than the 1,500 seized annually in the 1990s.
From the same Socialist Rag
Despite the decline, we are still helping to do something about it!
Ontario politicians, fearing a public backlash over the increased gunplay on Toronto's streets, have attempted to shift the blame south of the border......
U.S. agents are helping with Canadian investigations, are using their technology to trace guns and track bullets, and have offered high-tech tools to the RCMP.
The U.S. is also opening a small office of its Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agency in Toronto.
Yet again, from the same Socialist Rag, the 'Moap and Wail"
And I love the comments about Climate Control. Canada has not passed One, single piece of legislation to implement The Kyoto 'Send your business to China, and re-distribute wealth' Accord. Not one.

Also, for inquiring minds that would like to know...

Cut off the border.
Patrol your own border. We're not under any obligation to do it for you.
Always nice to hear from you, Canada. Now go away.
I would like to be the first to tell Mr. Martin to go eff himself.
Excellent point!
I think that is a fair request. I would like to know how many weapons used in crimes in Canada were smuggled north, vs. stolen, legally purchased, etc.
Why? We ask the Mexicans to police their border. (They do - to help the illegals across... oh, well.)
if it were actually true, sure. Read #1.
Those quotes were taken from previous articles from the same garbage commie rag: the Globe and Mail. This is nothing but trying to brew up campaign capital to stay in power and he knows it. "I'm gonna be a big boy and stand up to the Evil US.
The #'s of guns crossing illegally has declined drastically, and the ATF has established an office in Ontario. What more does this weiner want?

From the G&M, linked in post #1
Sounds like they are either getting better at smuggling, or that the market is saturated. The need to check the street price. But I want to know how many smuggled weapons were actually used by criminals in shoot outs....
It's not the responsibility of the US to prevent guns from going into Canada; that is the responsibility of Canadian customs. Just as Canada is not responsible for unlicensed hockey sticks or toques coming across our border.
Chardonny swillin', tofu fartin', whinny, liberal, bass-tards!
Too damn bad that they are not half as concerned with stopping illegal ALIENS.
Kind'a like the AIDS tainted blood scandal? Bugger off, as y'all might say, and close the bloody border.
Last week they were threating to sell their oil that they sell to the US to china. Like I said previously they are treading on dangerous ground here. Anything to stick it in the eye of the US is their policy, and millions of other Americans including myself are getting bloody tired of it. Most everyone from Canada always comes on here and makes excuses and apologies for the canadian government well do something more than whine about it, take back your damned country and stop spitting on the US at every turn. God help you all if you threaten the national security of north america.If one day chinese forces are deployed in North America then its time to act.
