D'uh, JackOff.
The whole idea of NAFTA is removing barriers and the FREE trade of goods between the member countries.
Our media is claiming 24 percent against Nova Scotians forestry products although our lumber comes from private lots...not Crown land.


I'd be a little more sympathetic Â*if your border gestapo was a bit
Â* more friendly toward Americans.

What is Justine blathering about?
Nova Scotia has always been very welcoming to Americans.
Odd fact...we are the only province that isn't an island that doesn't border with the US.

Leave your guns and attitude at home and you'll be welcomed like family.

Mostly that's true but if anyone with the same name has an arrest
record, even for relatively minor offences, you will very likely have
a problem.

Clearing in to Canada by boat is really a breeze, no pun intended. You
call an 800 number from a special pay phone, answer a few questions,
get a clearance number, and off you go.

The last time I was in Canada it was from Buffalo and they were a lot
nicer on the Canada side than the US border patrol was coming back.
The BP guys were assholes, just nasty for no particular reason.

I've been welcomed with no issue every time I've visited. The majority of the canucks I encountered were nice, but some had a snarky attitude exceeding what I've encountered in the states. And it wasn't toward me.

It seems you have your share of slammers and little slammers up there. Look in the mirror for the last example.

I suppose the provinces don't even recognize the second rate citizens
in the territories ;-)

D'uh, JackOff.
The whole idea of NAFTA is removing barriers and the FREE trade of goods
between the member countries.
Our media is claiming 24 percent against Nova Scotians forestry products
although our lumber comes from private lots...not Crown land.


In this country, we give the logging rights to private companies so they
can profit greatly from public lands.


They pay for those logging rights. So they are sold, not given.

Your experience is not the same as everyone's.


Neither is FlaJackoffJim's. I've driven across and flown across, the
later in commercial and private planes. Cleared customs once in
Cleveland, of all places.

I never stated what my experience was, haree. But there's no doubt the border has a deserved reputation for detaining and harassing people from time to time.

Amen. Crossed the border to visit Montreal while on a motorcycle trip. Had to unpack the entire bike
at the Canadian border to show we weren't carrying weapons. Another time was questioned and
threatened with searches for a good 15-20 minutes at the Niagara Falls crossing. Unreal.

I had no guns and no arrest record. I sure as hell wasn't treated as family.
