Not to mention hordes of illegals sauntering cross the border and disappearing.
So again...no thank you.
There is no such thing as "illegals" in such a set up, so good job good effort, but you're wrong...

Also, if they are "disappearing" then what does it matter to you? You'll never see them. lol

Obtuse in the extreme!

Unless you open your bottom hatch and remove any border restrictions on that one, then they're still illegals within your country. Sooooo it would be a given that if they then migrate across an open border at your upper end they'd still be illegals, no?

They don't suddenly become legal because they cross another line somewhere. We well know they tend to disappear UNTIL they number enough to tell you to kiss their rosey red azzes, trample your flag and make demands as they are now doing to you, no?

Why would we willingly buy into that cluster-fluster?

USDA’s primary line of inquiry suggests that the affected animal likely entered the United States as part of a group of 74 dairy cattle that were imported through Eastport, ID, from Canada in 2001.
Of course.... we can't trust our government, can we?

It makes perfect sense. You are prisoners now in the sense that most Canadians don't have the option to legally live and work in America. That would change.

Canada had many wonderful qualities. In an open border situation similar to the EU the lines would blur. As both economies melded, I believe that Canadians would move here.

That same system failed me and mine 3 times.. The PC get no more compromise from me I will remain armed at ALL Times. I am right now just sitting here... I always am.

No HELL NO those poor people are in grief but they get no more say than anyone else. My RIGHTS are not for them to give period.

If anything they should REJECT any notions of any more stupid gun free zones.."

Sitting, watching TV....armed.

Why are you so incessant about something that has nothing to do with you?

-----------------------

And why would Canada want America? To impose its VAT on everything while dancing to non-Caribbean Canadian emigre hip-hop? Well, they would have better music than any hip-hop that dull great northern glacier could produce.

Canadians belong in the Commonwealth and ought to join the EU if possible. Who wants that saggy old lady on our coins anyway? Or polar bears? Ducks and moose on the money, really?

You see the thing about your delusional "citizens of the world" nonsense is someone will ALWAYS try to be the boss and they will rule in ways you certainly won't like. Why is it you communism romantics can't ever see the harsh reality that goes with your utopian delusions?


Don't we have enough trouble just trying to maintain our own country? Now you want to go and throw other countries into the mix?


I wonder if instead of hitting on a bong while living in mom's basement, you actually tried taking part of reality... getting a job, working at buying a home, having a family, etc., you might learn a little. Because while this country is going to hell in a hand basket, it still is the closest thing to liberty in the world... and turning it into a free for all will NOT make it better.
"Citizens of the world" are afraid they will lose out when other non-white cultures become as affluent as the old white Christian countries they love. In other words, for them it is an obvious numbers game and as the world is allowed to catch up, they think they will become frivolous, like the way they treat 'minorities' in real life rather than in the rhetorical should-be's they enjoy tossing around like a mallet to prove themselves otherwise.

HUH? What Americans? In 1759 there were no Americans. This was between the Brits and the French. Canada was French.

Seems you are the one confused. If you can cross any border legally, and without hassle, then how can one possibly be an "illegal"?

What is the difference between someone deciding to move from Oklahoma City to Dallas for a new job opportunity and someone deciding to move from Mexico City to Dallas for a job opportunity? There is none. So why is one okay but the other isn't? Makes no logical sense.

The only real answer is due to racist bigotry, but that hardly seems to be a worthwhile reason to support.

Also, lol at "oh no they might bring their own ideas on how to do/run things"... since when are fresh perspectives and new outlooks a bad thing?

Also lol at the guy who is worried about living under Sharia Law while completely ignorant that he already does. Go try to buy some beer from the store on Sunday (a perfectly fine thing to do) and then try to tell me you aren't already living under some laws that were made by religious nuts when they refuse to sell it (or at least say they'd like to but aren't allowed)
