I came downstairs today, stumbling in my half-asleep haze, trying to find the milk and cereal, when I stumbled on the local newspaper. Front page story: The US wants to put up fences along the Canadian border.
Has anyone heard anything about this?

Canada? no, but i did see: "The House of Representatives voted to build a wall along the US border with Mexico to stop illegal immigration." ... "The US-Mexico border is 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) long."

These sites might help the discussion.
Don't know about any active project to build a fence along the Canadian Border (as of yet anyway - but will look for some information.)

Welcome to Fortress America.
It might be to stop drug traficking from Canada into the US, however I fail to see how you could build a fence big enough to stop that across the entire parallel. That would cost an insane amount of money and it would destroy relations between the two countries.
Yeah, that's basically what the subtitle of the article said.Quote:

It's all the rage nowadays, damn those Jews for being so fashionable.
WOW talking about returning to the "stone age"...
This is a real project of isolation, physical isolation?
Well maybe it's just because the elections are near right?:san_huh:
Nah, this isn't a campaign promise, this was talk by the American Congress.Quote:

Add machine guns and minefields to this and it would be a good idea.

At least the local paper gets proofread for typos and spelling mistakes :san_cheesy:Quote:

Maybe, someday in the future, we will be watching the Mexican-US or Canadian-US border wall get torn down just like the Berlin Wall.
Yes I've done it, in Battlefield: 1942, :san_laugh:Quote:

Are they talking about the Alaska - Yukon border too? Don't want any Canuckian caribou taking jobs from red-blodded Yank 'bous, yanno.
Best I can find out right now is that its poltical talk by some Senators and Representives in Congress.
Well have to wait and see what is done on the campaign trail. The campaigns in states that share the Canadian Border will be the tell in this story.
They are. But only if you're American.Quote:

Hell ya, I'd leave right now if I could.

I think you're in the wrong part of Canada. The women I saw in Montreal were pretty nice. I regret that I didn't ask out the one that rented me ice skates one evening.Quote:

Here you also can see a big map of Buenos Aires: LINKI'm in the municipality of "La Matanza" near the federal district, in a "barrio" called "Villa Insuperable", in Panamá 3828 near an avenue there called Juan Bautista Alberdi. Bring all your army here, I think that the corruption will finish them should they put a single foot here. Really, the corruption here has aquired physical form and is slaying everybody (well except rich people). Now if you wanna come just bring some dollars with you, but be careful, if you see some craters try to avoid them, they're filled with corruption and some bodies of poor people, the story tells that they were formed by the action of the IMF plus the inflation....:san_cheesy:
OH NO!!! WAIT I GAVE MY ADRESS TO THE CIA...:san_shocked:
