Fences?

[GoreBag]

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?

[solypsist]

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.

Edit to include an online version of the article.

When was the last time America ever cared about it's relations?

Apprently, yesterday.

I'm sure I've heard talk of the EU putting up a wall/fence along its eastern borders too.

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?

Nah, this isn't a campaign promise, this was talk by the American Congress.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

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

Oh well , then it's perhaps that I'm too accostumed to the traditions of my country.

Ja ja ja ja You always give me a good laugh Capo. Your posts are usually loaded with the most heavy burden of nonsense that I can read in any local newspaper.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Come on, your telling me it wouldn't be fun to watch illegals scramble across a minefield, over a high barbed wire fence while being shot at with Machine Guns?

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

[Tachikaze]

In one sense, I agree with Kaiser: it reminds me of the Iron Curtain.

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,

In your country perhaps... . You should read "Cronica", man I tell you, it's like if the whole piece is a comic book.

Why Canada? Mexico is where it needs to be

[bmolsson]

Sounds like a nation for freedom and democracy......

[KukriKhan]

Are they talking about the Alaska - Yukon border too? Don't want any Canuckian caribou taking jobs from red-blodded Yank 'bous, yanno.

[Redleg]

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.

Or Iraqi.

[Beirut]

A fence? Good idea!

Better build something to stop us from fleeing this destitute backwater of human rights violations, war, poverty, lousy beer, and ugly women called Canada.

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

"Mmphhh... snicker... gah!"

hey i've tried but all the good airafares are round trip only

now maybe if we did it with some style rather than the brick and mortar (and razor wire) job i just know is going to happen, i wouldn't mind so much.

and ugly women

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.

He was being sarcastic, obviously. Canada has the best looking women in north America.

Plus we don't want our Canadian women mingling with the uglies, do we?

So the fence is to keep US citizen IN the country ??

Here I'll point it out for you: of course I don't know anything about military strategy, so you'll understand if I don't point out some tips on how to take us, it shouldn't be that difficult anyway...

Here's the continent in wich this country is ubicated, just south of your mainland:

You should see it by now in this version with the whole continent included, it's the little boot close to the south end:

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....
OH NO!!! WAIT I GAVE MY ADRESS TO THE CIA...
