While the concerns seem to be about our southern borders, I checked up on the Canadian Border....and will be sending GWB my full report asap.
First thing I noticed was the lines were twice as long southbound, as heading north. Haven't worked out the algorithm yet, but seems that more Canadians are fleeing their country then Americans trying to get away from GWB.
Problem is though, they don't possess any useful skills, like the Mexicans entering the country.. When was the last time you read about a Canadian Gardener, or Maid?
Well, at a $1.21 a liter for gas, I can't blame them for bailing out. Another reason may be...I think the Chinese have secretly invaded, and taken over Vancouver,B.C.
I felt like I was in a minority group, while I was up there.
I was also "flagged" while crossing into Canada....that means going through a secondary checkpoint, where all sins of the past are revealed. This could add up to an additional 2 hour delay on entering the states.
I lied when asked if I had ever been to Canada before....otherwise i would have had to admit that as a teenager, we smuggled fireworks back to the states concealed in our swimsuits(not sure if the statute of limitations has expired for that crime).
Well, Vancouver is a scenic city....but WTF do they do for excitement up there? There's more going on in this small town...we have the tulip festival, and, and.....did I mention it's an annual event?
