Hey I resemble that remark, I'm a fence builder on my own place,
perhaps I can get a lucrative government contract for fence building.
AND, what makes Nick J. think Canadians are not "miscreants". I spent considerable time
in Ottawa and around several years back, I know some Canadians
My outside woodfurnace is of Canadian manufactured, a friend here is a dealer and makes a regular
trip up and has told me of some of his resent border crossing adventures.
He went back with some defective parts to exchange once and the Canadians told him he
ought to declare them so he would have to pay tariffs on the way back through.
So he went back to the uS customs to declare the parts and of course they searched every
inch of his Toyota Pick up. But I had another friend who hauled across and back
a 30' horse trailer and was never searched once. A lot of "terrorist can get in a 30' trailer
with living compartment too!
Then the same friend who is the wood stove dealer was coming back and was searched
again by the uS border custodians. He had a roast beef sandwich which he had taken
in from the uS and was bringing back to eat on his trip home. The guard told him
he couldn't bring the beef in. Might have mad cow. He asked if he could eat it.
Guard said yes, so he ate it right there on the spot and threw the wrapper in the trash.
Makes me feel a whole lot safer now that I know Canadian miscreants will not be slipping in with
mad cow beef. Brought in by a Mennonite terrorist (my friend is Mennonite a known dangerous religious
sect.).
