I've never been to Mexico, so I have no idea what border security there is really like. I can imagine, though. I've been in and out of Canada many times over the years. I'm not saying that security at the northern border is perfect and doesn't need additional help, but I feel pretty good about it, based on personal experience. Especially with the customs agents on the Canada side.
Canada's crime is "Being Infidel On A Sunny Day".
This would force the closing of all mosques in Canada, and the Islamic sects in Canada would be allowed to incorporate a new Islamic Church that has peace as its centric principle, and be put on probationary status as a religious organization, overseen by the RCMP for a term certain, like 20 years.
Canada has the governmental authority to do that, has exercised it before , but the US government does not.
Some of the Doukhobors were Christian Anarchists and were summarily dealt with by land confiscation by the Saskatchewan government. They were defanged, and the peaceful remnants of the sect exist today in British Columbia.
There is no reason that Muslims in Canada should not receive the same treatment if they get out of hand:
This from Wikepedia:
Perhaps the most dynamic leader of the Doukhobors to date was Peter Vasilevich Verigin (1859-1924). Verigin was killed in a still-unsolved Canadian Pacific Railway train explosion on October 29, 1924 near Farron and Grand Forks, British Columbia.
In 1903 a radical faction of the Doukhobors calling themselves Svobodniki (Freedomites) or the 'Sons of Freedom' (SOF) embraced Verigin's writings in a zealous manner. A small group of the SOF participated in mass nudity and arson as means of protesting what they found to be corrupt. This led to many confrontations with the Canadian government and the RCMP which continued into the 1960s and later.
Thanks, this is great information. But times have changed and I perceive Canada to be a bit more tolerant, PC, if you will, since the turn of the last century.
And to think the Liberals and NDPers are all saying its because Canada is backing the U.S. in an offensive war in Afghanistan where Canada has no business being and is just upsetting muslimsaround the world. Being in Afghanistan is proof Canada is a co-Zionist conspirator oppressing muslims. And the arrests prove Canada is a racist society that does not believe in justice or human rights. < / muslim insanity mode>
The only thing the MSM is blinded by is their ignorance!
When I read this I immediately segued to "The Canadian Love Call" (or Song, whatever)
That not only shows my age, it illustrates how I expect even a conservative canadian government to respond.
I assume you are speaking for yourself and your buddies. Most people I hang with don't..
Right. I knew after I posted that 5 years wasn't the right time frame. But, for me, I wasn't paying attention until I watched the second plane go into the WTC while I was watching Bloomberg TV on the internet at work.
Then I got a call from my Mom telling me my cousin's husband was in there.
And then a week later, their only child was born.
I'm now constantly aware and I will NEVER forget.
If your from Alta, then as far as the 'ROC' is concerned (especially GTA Mtl & Vancouver, you and me (yah that's righ me as well!) are a bunch of rednecks trying to bible thump Canada back to the middle ages. Don't kid yourself.
I guess if you aren't from Quebec, you just don't understand how flamingly liberal most people are here! Sometimes I have to have a conversation with myself in order to make sense of the whole thing
I'm with you. I also will never forget. Sorry to hear of your loss.
IF you lived in this city, you'd have a clue. Pathetic mindless lefties are the BEST we have to deal with here. Conservatives and those who CAN think are few and far between. It's a town of government employees, for crying out loud!
Lets see how tolerant Canadians will be when a few tons of aluminium nitrate are touched off in a city square or government building. I am not an alarmist, but the fact is Canadians generally have little idea about what the Western world is facing.They wool gather in the multicultural Utopia upon which billions of dollars worth of imagry were spent since Lester Pearson.
This battle will last every bit as long as the cold war, if not longer. It may even bring an end to the United Nations, unless the third world begins to understand which civilization they wish to support. They can try the tyrrany of the Sharia for a few generations, and you watch them rail for the good old days of UNESCO.
Cnanadians will awaken, slowly but surely. The corpses of their own soldiers is but a beginning, swept under the rug as they are.

Yup, I guess my Conservative Party membership card, Mossberg 500 12 guage pump and Ruger 10/22 makes me a redneck, eh? ;)
