US Government sticks fingers up Canadians' asses.

It could literally come to that if they don't like the way Canadians behave at the border -

Trudeau backs C-23, armed US border guards in Canada

 

 

The article notes, "Michael Greene, an immigration lawyer in Calgary, says C-23 takes away an important right found in the existing law. 'A Canadian going to the U.S. through a pre-clearance area [on Canadian soil] can say: I don't like the way [an interview is] going and I've chosen not to visit your country. And they can just turn around and walk out. Under the new proposed bill, they wouldn't be able to walk out. They can be held and forced to answer questions, first to identify themselves, which is not so offensive, but secondly, to explain the reasons for leaving, and to explain their reasons for wanting to withdraw', said Greene." 

Greene adds, "If that person tries to leave, then they can be charged with failing to co-operate, which under this bill is an offence they can be arrested for, and then charged and given a federal record."

Furthermore, the article notes, "Under the existing law, a strip search can only be conducted by a Canadian officer, though a U.S. officer can be present. Greene points out C-23 says if a Canadian officer is unavailable or unwilling, the U.S. officer can conduct the search."

And, "C-23 would also allow U.S. officers to carry sidearms while on duty in Canada, if they're working in an environment where Canada Border Services Agency officers are normally armed."
