"Calls about the new law to the Canadian Snowbirds Association in Toronto are increasing as Canadians start planning to go south for winter."Well, don't come south then. Stay up there in the snow .. and keep your Muslims up there with you.

On the way home, only three days later, U.S. government agents forced the couple through the motions againWhy are they dealing with US Customs when leaving the USA?

Given the liberal immigration policies of the Canadian government, I would say these actions are prudent. No ones freedom is infringed upon, because no one forces them to undergo this procedure. They can just stay in Canada.

Their crime, according to a new U.S. law? Being born in Iran. I was born in the US, and look like a nondescript Angular-Saxon, and I've run into plenty of NightWatch types in border security (even before the 9-11 Massacre).

"I had no choice but to answer them because that's part of their new procedure," Ms. Shahparaki said. Good.

"Calling the system discriminatory, the Foreign Affairs department has issued an unusual travel advisory urging Canadian citizens born in countries targeted by U.S. anti-terrorism policies to think twice about visiting the U.S."
The funny thing is that the Canadian Government think this is a snub and have no clue that we echo that same sentiment...STAY OUT

Humiliation? More accurately, arrogant whining over trivialities. If it were up to me, her outraged butt would remain on the Canadian side of the line until she got a pair of body cavity searches each time she crossed... by an agent with hands like catcher's mitts...
... really cold catcher's mitts.
What she "endured" is less hassle than she'd get trying to obtain an Iowa CCW permit in a county with a 'rat sheriff (and more successful- she got across).

"What is your address? When and where were you born? Where do you work? What is your telephone number? What is your business here? Where are you going? For how long? What are your parents' names? What are your parents' birthdates? What did they do?"
I'm a white American citizen. While I've never been finger printed or photographed, I've been asked these same questions every time I've crossed over into Canada. It's not a big deal.

They would have been dealing with Canadian customs but too stupid to know the difference. (Or maybe they just want to rag on the U.S.)

"Why do they need to know about my parents? My parents are deceased," Ms. Shahparaki said, adding the U.S. official "apologized profusely" for the inconvenience. "What are they doing with this information?" Trying to figure out if you are who you say you are. Trying to make sure you aren't connected to any of a dozen or so radical muslim groups bent on the destruction of America. Trying to make sure you aren't just another bunch of IslamoMonsters out to commit mass murder in the name of your Moon God. Is that clear enough for you?
Because even though nobody in the government will come out and say it, we have been listening to the Muslim street. We know that the people speaking loudest for Islam support religious terrorism.
Sooner or later, somebody will have the nerve to say the obvious: Islam has declared war against all of Western Civilization. It is THEY who have repeatedly clarified this point, even as we try to deny it.
I know that the Canadians considered their actions as a slap against Americans, but I support it wholeheartedly. Keep this Muslim scum in Canada. They have no right to come to America unless we decide to let them in, and that will be under our terms.

Well pass the kleenex.
I'm fed up of listening to this kind of sniveling. They were inconvenienced for a few hours and were asked questions. Big deal. If they don't like it, tough. Don't come back!

The Canadian citizens said they were "treated like criminals" when they travelled to the United States Oh cry me a freakin' river. The last time I flew on an airplane, I got pulled out of line while airport security ordered me to remove my coat, remove my jacket, empty my pockets, and take off my shoes while they pawed through my carry-on and passed a metal-detecting rod over my crotch. Meanwhile, two gentlemen of the Mohammedan persuasion (one of them was carrying a large cane that could have concealed a sword) waltzed past the security goons right on to the airplane.

"Why are they dealing with US Customs when leaving the USA?"
I travel to Montreal every 3 months for business and never had to deal with US border officials when crossing into Canada.
To put it quite simply they are FULL OF SH**!
To: Snowyman
Why are they dealing with US Customs when leaving the USA? Prolly tried to back across the border. Knickers down, and heads up thru the sunroof.
