A few thoughts...
For one thing, this looks like a clear admission on the side of the Canadian gov't that its law enforcement agencies are useless, and cannot do the job they are being paid to do.
Otherwise they wouldn't need the help of the US law enforcement agencies, would they ?
Another aspect is, which law will the US agents enforce ? Canadian Law ? Isn't that what the Canadian police is for ? US Law ? Whoa, that be getting a bit crazy then, wouldn't it ?
If Canadian police can't do their job, then why should Canadians keep paying taxes to cover their salaries ?
Also, why should Americans keep paying taxes for their agents to enforce the law in Canada ?
Yet another aspect: is Canada really such a hotbed of terrorism and a major threat to the US that this measure is justified ? Are Canadians breaking the law left and right ?
Why the heck not start with Mexico, I reckon there's a few more things to be done about enforcing the law over there, rather than on the north of the border...
And finally... the US might as well annex Canada, and save on some of the paperwork... 'cause so much for sovereignty - the first similar case that comes to mind is Iraq, which is under occupation. How is that similar ? Well, it's a non-US territory where the US law enforcement troops are, well, enforcing the law. Looks like it'll be the same in Canada.
