candukid . You really need to get with the times. The world has changed and your country is falling behind because of backward thinking people like you. You cannot go back to the 50's and apple pie and sock hops. Your kind has been passed by. Get over it.
To our Canadian friends on this board. I have visited your beautiful country numerous times to vacation and admire a lot of what your government has put in place. Learn from our mistakes and some of the things we've done right in America.
I just learned there have been 3 terrorist related incidents in Canada so far this year. I found that interesting that the USA has also had 3 terror incidents so far this year and we have almost 10 times the population. (The jury is still out on Mr Paddock in Vegas because ISIS is claiming he converted early this year but that is unconfirmed.)
The recent killing in Edmonton was an attacker that had deportation orders in the USA but he made his way to the Canadian border and was granted asylum a few years ago.
The most recent confirmed attack in the States was just a few weeks ago when a Sudanese immigrant shot and killed one church member, injured 8 others, after a Sunday morning service southeast of Nashville. He was interrupted by the sole usher who had the wits to go get his gun out of his car and confront the attacker holding him until authorities arrived.
I'm not for closed borders and isolationism but we do need to know who these immigrants are that want to get in to our countries.
