I maybe mistaken but except for that one guy caught trying to get into the US to blow up something on New Years Eve several years ago, there has never been an incident of terrorists entering the US from Canada. Even the one that was caught had crossed back and forth across the Canada / US border several times before being nabbed and I believe that he had flown in and out of LAX with no problem.

I am not saying that there are no terrorists in Canada planning on doing as much damage as they can. I am saying that reports about Canada being a prime entry to the US for terrorists has never been proven. Canada and the US are both democracies and both countries have to deal with problems like individual rights and freedom to move around which make tracking and arresting terrorists quite difficult. Anti terrorists officiers in Canada and the US work in close cooperation with each other.

Closing the Canada / US border would be an economic and financial disaster for both countries. We just happen to be the biggest 2 way trading partners in the world with well over $1B of trade every day. By the way, Canada also happens to be the number 1 supplier of oil to the US.

Getting back to the original topic, people that are too far to the left or too far to the right make little or no attempt to listen to the opinions of others. They tend to think that they are always right and everyone that doesn't agree with them, is wrong.
