Another Brick in the Wall

If Canada’s relation with the United States is all about protecting sovereignty, as Prime Minister Martin has said of lately in his vote-garnering attempts, then the opposite also applies. After all, the United States, as a state, has as much interest as Canada does in protecting its own sovereignty.
Enter the talk from US politicians about building a fence along the Canada-US border.
“We’re simply talking of having a real border and asking people when they want to come to the United States that they come in the front door.”
While the idea precedes Paul Martin’s electoral bravado against the United States, the notion of a border fence does show the potential effects that Liberal anti-American policy may have on Canada’s trade and commerce. So much for having a Liberal government that would put US-Canada relations back on track. The restoration of the relationship with our neighbour seems to have left the Liberal Party out of the same door through which addressing the democratic deficit exited.

Potentially frustrating scenario: the Conservatives win a majority, the Americans carry forward with their fence plan shortly thereafter anyway, and the Liberals use the new fence to blame the Conservatives for our bad relations with the states (while ignoring their own long history of anti-Americanism).
The plan might be to stop the bio terror with bio metrics.
Americans have gotten much smarter about Canada. Its no worth dealing with them at all.
