"Well, some of the 9/11 hijackers did come through Canada, as you know."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/04/24/mccain-repeats-dubious-claim-sept-hijackers-entered-canada/

Apparently, John McCain believes 9/11 hijackers came in over the norther border.

"McCain Repeats False Claim That Sept. 11 Hijackers Entered U.S. From Canada
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., makes the dubious claim that Sept. 11 hijackers entered the United States through Canada -- just days after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano came under fire for saying the same thing."

Oh really?


Two serious issues, though.

First - how ARE we going to secure our northern border? Are we going to?

Second - how does so much... flawed intelligence... flourish so well among the 'elite'?

I'm surprised Canada hasn't sealed its southern border yet... One would think Fallout gave them enough of a hint.

no, NAFTA is good, hopefully, it will turn into something like the EU.

My Plan Z (plan of last resort of last resort) is fleeing across the Canadian border and starting an infamous criminal organization. If the Canadian border is sealed, how will I accomplish this?

If you tried to turn yourself into a penal colony, we'd all start crackin' wise about your mamas.

North. All the best criminals flee to the north, that's why the Russian crime lords have to be so aggressive. They can't flee to the north (because Santa Claus has such an iron grip on the north pole), so they have to go east or west, which puts them at an automatic disadvantage compared to Mexicans, South Americans or Africans.
wait if you get over the wall wouldn't this make you a criminal and thus achieving your dream?
I like the way you think. Provided that you live south of Ontario, there might be a place for you in my hypothetical organization of crime.

I think the state of Georgia was first, it was started as a Penal Colony. Evidently the English crown thought they needed cannon fodder if the spanish ever attacked from Florida to protect the Virginia and Carolina colonies.

Well, "our" northern border is the North Sea, actually, and not much a-coming from that direction.

No, the US aren't going to. Still, the Canadians might consider blockading their southern (and western) border to prevent pig flu from spreading.

Too late, there's already been an outbreak in Ontario.

Yes, they will see you as liberators and help you. Soon the insurgents will give up and Canada will be a democratic country! Worked fine last time... :)
