Both Herman Cain and the US Border Patrol came up with a brilliant idea in the past year; build a fence along the Canada-US border to keep the good guys in and the bad guys out. Out of where or in where have never been explained, but anyone remotely acquainted with the border would immediately recognize the logistical nightmare this suggestion presents.
You're hiking in the Rockies and all of a sudden you find yourself in Montana. You're fishing in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and all of a sudden you're in Washington State. The Great Lakes, the Detroit River, the Saint John River... hell, I've crossed that border by accident at least half a dozen times even when I didn't have anything on me! Obviously neither Cain or the Border Patrol has thought this one through.
Thankfully they no longer have to. Prime Minister Harper and President Obama agreed today to a common border around both countries. Harper hailed the deal as the most significant step forward since NAFTA.
"This agreement creates a new modern world order for a new century," Harper said.
New world order? And it's the best thing since NAFTA?
Working folks on both sides of the line should hunker down and prepare for the worst. NAFTA was the biggest screw-over we've seen in a hundred years. If Harper and Obama agree that this is the best thing since NAFTA, we should not just hang onto our hats.
We should screw them into our heads with #4 machine screws.
