Reply #35: Block Quebecois separatists are at the root of this.

[arch_liberal]

For years the rabid separatist BQ have been blackmailing Canada Immigration into providing carte blanch immigration for middle easterners from Algerian and other north African countries in order to offset a percieved imbalance in French speaking new immigrants. While on the one hand, one can accept such arguments as somewhat fairer to Francophones, the simple fact is that the population demographics, especially within Quebec and neighboring Ontario have shifted to a decidedly larger Islamic population than ever before, and this population group continues to grow.

It is extreme folly, and this case goes to prove it, that perhaps the greatest terrorist threat to America would find a warm hearth and launchpad along America's northeastern and central heartland borders.

Now that a Conservative minority regime has siezed power in Canada, due once again to the same treasonous Block Quebecois Separatist Party having recieved official "national" party standing in Canadian politics (national party "standing" in a country they are openly pledged and determined to destroy, - they were mostly former dissafected Conservatives themselves) no clear majority emerged from the last election.

These conservatives immediately reversed Canada's policy of peacekeeping to curry favor with the "Great Decider" by, for the first time since North Korea, sending Canadian troops into Afghanistan in combat roles. While certainly not so controversial a move to most Canadians who can appreciate the certain legitimacy of that conflict, it has thus painted a target on the backs of all Canadians, in this case most likely perhaps to the benefit of our close American friends and relatives.

Nonetheless, the need for US Homeland security to pour more money and resources into vigilance and agressive new "outside the box" strategies to protect the vital economic links (border crossing assets) that preserve and support our economic lifelines is long, long long and sadly more than overdue!

A border is not a line in a river, it is a friendly linkage that BEGINS on the OTHER side!!!
