Why am I not supprised that this spew is from Canada?

[Clive]

This "spew" originated in the White House.

The administration wants a continental security zone which would provide increased security because continental screening standards would be set. That would allow the continuance of the easy movement of people and goods across the border.

Remember that Canada is the US's best customer and the US is Canada's best customer.

Of course the disproportionate power of the US would mean that the continental standards would be de facto set by the US government.

It is the Canadian Left that is resisting this idea because it percieves it to be detrimental to Canadian sovereignty.
