Isn't it time to repeal the U.S. and Canadian border yet? We share the longest and most peaceful border in the world.
It's time to also be able to move and work freely between those two nations without any need to obtain citizenship and green card just like EU nations.

Canada should be like a US State, and USA should be like a Canadian province, yet still different nations.

As long as you don't have a felony you can travel freely between Canada and the USA. Working is different obviously.

National sovereignty is what defines a nation.

We need the border to prevent the United States from being infected with liberalism from Canada.

We already have enough liberal elements to deal with here - so it makes sense to provide some mechanism of quarantine.

No, when they come to the US to by cheap and subsidised merchandise and food i want them paying duty on their purchases. I remember in the Sault seeing them clean out our milk, turkeys and other inexpensive or subsidised food items. There would always be all kinds of old clothing left in the parking lots (you would think the slobs would at least dump their garbage in a can) as they wore across the border items they just purchased so they could reduce or eliminate their duty at customs. Canuckistanis are all arrogant and smug about their UHC but you dont here them say much about the oppresive taxes they pay for their dependency on the government. I think we should increase security at the border and make sure they pay for their American shopping sprees.
