At the outbreak of WWII the Canadian Navy was a shame to the nation. Not

Canadians died thanks to the negligence of the Canadian government in
defending itself. Today, Canada can boast more generals than tanks. Seems a
cultural thing to me. Those maple sucking strap hangers thumb their noses at
the US but come running for help whenever threatened. Hey Canada - thanks! -
thanks for letting those 9/11 terrorists pass through your silly little
country! If it so upsets you that Canadians come to the US to be successful,
why not build a wall to keep all you zambonie brains in the country.

"A sorry state of affairs" puts it mildly.

Spolken by a person who ahs not been through customs at the US and
Candian borders...in order for someone to slip through FROM Canada, they
would have had to slip by US customs agents. They would have encountered
Canadian agents only upon reentering Canada. The population of Canada
entire is less than the entire population of California. At the time of
WW2 even less so. You obviously don't know many Canadians. They are
lovely people. I am proud to have Canadian relatives. Go pound on some
other country more deserving of your ire than our allies in
Canada...save your spew for Germany or any other Euro neighbor that has
turned their back to us.
