At the Pacific Highway crossing in Blaine this morning the RCMP has basically militarized the border. K9 teams in the surrounding fields, CCTV crews on site, all southbound vehicles being screened for paperwork and intentions. Both north and south restricted to one lane. All side entrances are closed and manned.
Very few brave protesters at the edge of this, who I air-horned in support. That small gesture resulted in a close tailing of my rig by a RCMP supervisor’s patrol car in order to get my license information.
F_cking JBTs!!!
Remember when we used to say "it can't happen here"? They did too.
You were southbound?

Heck, I grew up in Vancouver BC. It ALWAYS has been “militarized” esp. AFTER 9/11. I’ve said it multiple times: it’s ALWAYS the idiot gestapo RCMP/ immigration guards on the Canadian side which gives me problems..not the US side. They hate Canadians who get a green card thinking we’re all traitors (SPIT)
