Arming our border guards in light of Peace Arch incident: Dumb question
How would arming Canadian border guard have helped in yesterday's Peace Arch Crossing incident? No one was killed or injured, so... :shrug:

Just wondering what exactly is prompting the notion. Harper sure seems eager.

3. Yer right...
Media was spinning this one as a deficiency of Canadian border guards...which somehow explains how two murderers from California managed to get all the way up to the Canadian border in the first place.

How many heavily armed levels of American law enforcement did these guys pass through? What if these guys had a car bomb?

Canada's problem, I suppose that they didn't stop American criminals from reaching the border...pfft...WTF

NOTE: the most obvious 'terror' related questions that are completely ignored when relevent, but then tossed into debates, like ID cards, when it isn't relevent?

Good media...good media...does media what bone, does media want a bone...good doggie...

4. NO reason to arm our border guards because of this
.
.
.

after all -

are we supposed to be AFRAID of who crosses our border?

well,

maybe if they are supporters of the PNACers

In My Opinion - Canada's biggest threat lies within the Admin of the USA government - NOT it's citizens
