“What’s fascinating is that Canadian officials aren’t overly paranoid about the people moving freely within Canada but U.S. officials are. Conversely, U.S. officials aren’t paranoid about people moving freely within the United States but Canadian officials are. Each side thinks the other side is just filled with drug dealers, drug users, communists, and terrorists who would immediately cross the border and start freely moving within the adjoining country if there were no checkpoints between the two countries. Why do people have a system that permits such nonsense? Because they have all grown up with it and therefore they just accept that it’s a permanent part of life.”
