You're serious? Not fucking around with me?

...and when I come back from France, Italy, Britain, etc they look through all of my bags 3 times and make me spend half an hour filling out paperwork.... *grumble*... I think next time i should just experience a sudden memory loss.... ???

Think for a second. What's wrong with your picture? Are you an immigrant? Are you a refugee? Nope, your a Canadian citizen. Ahhhh............now we see, there's the rub.

Couldn't make that stuff up.  And I'm only glossing over how bad it is.  Maybe if WR gets a chance he can relate some border atrocities for us.  There are (I believe) six countries that a person CANNOT be refused refugee status for any reason, including suffering from communicable fatal diseases like HIV, Hep B, tuberculosis etc. just because the country is such a hole and we feel oh-so-sorry for them.  Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Algeria I believe are on the list.  See a pattern there?  CANNOT be denied. 
If the Americans wanted to put up a wall between us, I wouldn't blame them for one second.

I always love when they come off the plane with no documents whatsoever, gee, I wonder how they managed to get on the plane??

Bruce, that is one of the worst travesties in the world as far as letting potential undesirables in...I say raise the airline fine even more...$10,000 a pop would make them think twice...station a CBA agent at the front door to the skyway...I would happily wait longer to see a plane off load and watch somebody get turned around and strapped into a seat for a return to departure airport!  >:(

Cheers,

Forget the fine, how about just yank the pilots licence?  If it happens enough, pull the entire airlines sky privileges.  Terrorists can come up with $3000 pretty quick if they want to place one of their A-list guys.
 
I was just thinking exactly that.  We should hold off on the idle spec for now, but it would not suprise me in the least.  If the cell was rapidly being rounded up, the guy with the explosive would want to do something with it rather than be picked off.  Time will only tell what the intended target was.  Certainly not a stall in the men's can.
 
My family just purchased a home on the same street, only 2 weeks ago.  ::)

The same street?  Oh, no!  Do they live on Bloor, which runs across the entire width on Toronto and ultimately leads north out of the city as McCowan Road, or on Yonge Street, the longest street in Canada?  Perhaps a block reference... ;D

"Immigration screening" is an oxymoron.  You would be appalled at what happens at the border and what is not allowed to be turned away.  For instance, if someone comes over, no documents, nothing  identifying them at all, and claims they do not know their birthday, they can verbally identify themselves and if they come up with a reasonable age, Immigration will assign them Jan 01 as their birthday.

My understanding is that both Canada and the US have closed the loopholes on refugee status. But it doesn't address the terrorist element that have already infiltrated. This is the critical issue that must be addressed on both sides of the border.

Not even close.  Some proposals were lobbed around, but the Lieberals made sure that died on the table.  People can still claim refugee status from a first world country.  So, Joe Refugee makes it to the United States.  Claims refugee status.  Goes through the drawn out process of assessment.  Knows he won't be approved, because he has no legitimate claim, and will likely be ordered deported.  A few days before his hearing packs up all his crap, drives to a Canadian border, and claims refugee from the US.  Now we pay for him for upwards of five years while he appeals his rejections over and over.  Guess who is paying for his lawyer?

Pretty scary scenario = to say the least. The situation is also bad in the US. No telling how many got in. 

What I'd like to see is a gov task force that specifically tracks refugees and where, warranted,  re-open cases. I'm sure there's plenty of bogus information in many of the immigration applications that would be grounds for removal. It would be $ well spent. 
 
We don't put criminals in jail.  Do you really think the socialist judges are going to start launching people out of the country, families and all, because of some outstanding paper work?  As nice as it would be, I don't see it happening. 
BTW, Inland Immigration takes care of tracking down illegals.  Unfortunately, they are both woefully under staffed, and burdened with the same toothless regulations that the border is stuck with.
 
I remember reading recently there was a terrorist meeting in Toronto early this year; I can't find any references to it in the media. Anyone can help ??

I think I know what you're talking about.  We discussed it here.
