Stay in the US , and you'll have NO problems. Come here, and you'll go
through more **** than you can handle on the way back home.
We dont need you here, in the land of supposed" Terrorist Training
Grounds".

And you would presume incorrectly. Since 9/11 the Canadian government has
spent millions of dollars beefing up security at the border. Concern
about lax Customs procedures in the US that allowed the terrorists to so
easily enter the US has been the driving force behind these initiatives.
All visitors from the US must now present a valid passport, submit to
mandatory fingerprinting and provide letters of reference from at least 3
baptist ministers (only 1 if from the SCLC) attesting to the following:

1) you have never, ever ordered a falafel
2) you don't know what tahini is and
3) you like both kinds of music i.e., country and westernYeah right! As long as you bring lots of yankee dollars, you're welcome in
Canada. Going back home will be the problem.- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
