Secure your northern border? Why? The USA has nothing Canadian citizens want that we either dont already have or dont want period. Our drinking age in Ontario and Quebec for example is 19 and 18 respectively, we're better than the US in terms of healthcare (I don't even need to cite this as everyone knows that recent study put the USA at the bottom of the list for developed countries in terms of health care), we have a good handle on gun violence, we haven't legalized bribery and equated money with freedom. Half our country isn't represented by lunatics, the Conservatives here actually hold a somewhat decent platform at times, we are kind to each other and dont fear for our lives on a daily basis. We are North America's highest exporter of crude, on a provincial level we actually invest in green technologies, transportation, and education, something the USA doesn't do because it wasted $1 Trillion in a phoney war and invested the rest into a bloated military which now does almost nothing. We aren't gridlocked by neanderthal issues such as Gay rights, women's rights, blatant and obvious racism, fake scandals involving our leader, or a minority view on gun rights. Ontario's last election was all about the economy, not once did any of the typical American BS arguments ever come up in a debate. In fact, the woman who won the premiership was a Lesbian, which just shows how farther ahead on social issues we are.
The only thing that some people in Canada would want from the US are your guns, and those are likely the criminals, not most people, and I doubt they would want to stay once they have them. Shopping in the US can also be a bit cheaper depending on where the dollars are in relation to each other, but again, people aren't crossing illegally for it. People who want to become doctors would make a good amount in the US for obvious reasons but they're hardly crossing illegally. Although you are number 1 in incarceration, but I don't see that as a selling point to convince Canadians to come and try to cross illegally into america. There is the drug trade, which likely crosses the border illegally to move shipments, but you got to wonder how many people are moving drugs across into Canada or the other way around and staying illegally, just doesnt seem like a convincing argument.
Seriously, secure your northern border? If things don't change soon, I'll start agreeing with you. Except you people will be trying to keep YOUR people from crossing into Canada illegally, not the other way around. I mean, Canada isn't perfect, we got our fair share of problems too, there's no question about that. But I'm gonna be arrogant and say we are leagues ahead of where the Americans are in this day and age, and it will stay that way if you guys don't change things around for the better.
End Rant[:D]
