I agree. It is not the responsibility of the Canadians to monitor people who enter the US. That is the sole responsibility of the US immigrations and customs agents. The last time I traveled back into the US from Canada I was stopped and questioned by US officials.

Re: A plan to rebuild.... [7:19611]
I received this from my sister and I thought it was worth sharing... JW This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing. America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread, but only partial news coverage, was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record: This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon - not once, but several times - and safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those. Stand proud, America! This is one of the best editorials that I have ever read regarding the United States. It is nice that one man realizes it. I only wish that the rest of the world would realize it. We are always blamed for everything, and never even get a thank you for the things we do. I would hope that each of you would send this to as many people as you can and emphasize that they should send it to as many of their friends until this letter is sent to every person on the web.

RE: A plan to rebuild.... [7:19611]
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Canada pretty much has an open door policy letting in anyone who wants to come here. You claim refugee status and then you're permitted to leave your entry point unescorted, unmonitored. The substantial number of those people never come back to finish being processed. It's during that processing period many known terrorists are identitfied and by then it's too late. They've disappeared into the fabric of our country. Canada is home to a substantial number of terrorist groups and I hope knowing that makes you feel comfortable. Where there is a will there is a way, and yes they would have found another way into the US - but Canada makes it far too easy for that sort of thing to happen. That's why the US needs to slap Canada's parliment upside the head for its immigration policies. Simply put, this is my last public post on this topic. I won't discuss it again. Groupstudy isn't meant for this type of discussion, but I think it's important that people in the US know about what goes on in the country that borders them to the north. The Canadian public has tried for years to get immigration policies tightened, unsuccessfully. Perhaps the Americans can help. And finally, your comments weren't very appropriate for this type of list. Such behavior doesn't really reflect well on Canadians, now does it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stephen Mole Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 7:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A plan to rebuild [7:19611] Take a freakin hike Dipshit.

RE: A plan to rebuild.... [7:19611]
. If he was rejected for refugee status and he wasn't a Canadian citizen, why was he permitted to be in Canada for three years? He bided his time hoping he could get Canadian citizenship so that he could easily pass into the US and blow up LAX. Canadian officials last night searched Ressams apartment in Montreal. They discovered he had simply walked away from it, leaving clothes in the closet and rotting food in the refrigerator. He then went to a motel in Vancouver, where a maid said he spent hours locked in a back room with a second person, whom authorities are seeking. The maid told ABCNEWS that Ressam rarely allowed his room to be cleaned, but that it smelled like eggs an odor similar to that emitted by sulfur, a common bomb-making component. She also said she had seen many empty plastic containers in the room. The alternative to Canada cleaning up its immigration policies is for the US to deny Canadians easy access into the US--and I don't think any Canadian wants that. -- Leigh Anne -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Mairs Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A plan to rebuild [7:19611] Maybe I am an Idiot (well, there is no doubt that I am but still...)

Although neither my home nor my parents were damaged, there's something traumatic you go through when you've lived through something as violent as that. What I and the rest of the people in the City I live in go through is exactly what the people that lived through the tragedy in New York will go through. It's something you can't describe to someone else... but those people (on the street and in the office towers) will never be the same again. I can't fathom those towers being rebuilt having those people going back to work in buildings that have twice been the target of terrorists. So I guess no, I don't have the testosterone needed to jump at the chance of acting as a terrorist magnet. Neither do most of the people that live in my city... There's a website with several pictures of the twister that can be found at http://datalib.library.ualberta.ca/tornado/new1a.JPG.

Do you really think that people would want to work in towers that are identical to the ones in which so many people died? In a type of attack that could easily happen again? Many of those people have been involved in two terrorist attacks... I doubt they'd be keen to see if there would be a third. I would really hope that of all the things that come out of this, if it's found that the terrorists came through Canada, the US whacks Canadian politicians upside the head for their lax immigration policies and incompetent information service (Canada's version of the FBI).

I think it is imperative that we not only rebuild the two 110 story towers using the exact same set of blueprints. I think a grassroots effort to encourage that the two towers be built at a distance one and a half times the original spacing and a THIRD tower a 150 stories high right in the middle. I think that by doing this we heal the wounds of the original towers missing from the Manhattan skyline but also show the uniquely American gesture of the middle finger faced eastward defying terrorism in a subtle but unmistakable fashion.

Your statement is illogical and insulting to the integrity of Canada. This is an emotionally charged situation for people around the world.

RE: A plan to rebuild.... [7:19611]
I guess you're not aware of Canada's reputation as being a haven for murderers and terrorists. Once these people are here, we can't deport them because of goofy Canadian politics. When these people come into Canada, Canada has a responsibility to ensure these people don't have undesirable backgrounds. Then when they're here, it's easy for them to get forged documents indicating that they are Canadian citizens. That makes the US immigration department's job more difficult because of the free flowing policy of letting Canadians pass through the US border with a minimum of background checking. It's the freedom that Canada enjoys with the US that's at risk unless our Government steps up to the plate and tightens things up. How often have you heard after the fact that Canada Immigration didn't investigate into people's backgrounds properly? Far too often I'm afraid. It wasn't the Canadian immigration department that stopped the guy heading into the US to blow up LAX on the millenium... it was the US immigration department. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Torren Craigie-Manson Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 8:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A plan to rebuild [7:19611] --- Leigh Anne Chisholm wrote: {snip} I would really hope that of all the things that come out of this, if it's found that the terrorists came through Canada, the US whacks Canadian politicians upside the head for their lax immigration policies and incompetent information service (Canada's version of the FBI).

Re: A plan to rebuild.... [7:19611]
I tried to keep this off the list but you sir are so ignorant. Just when did it become Canada's job to prevent people entering the U.S.? The last time I went through the border it was American guards that asked me where I was from, where I was going and looked at my identification. And just when did it become the U.S.'s business who gets into Canada? It's a two way street. We get a lot of undesirables from down south too. And while you're at it, explain to me how these terrorists took flight training in the U.S. to learn to fly the planes they hi-jacked. How is it that a Flight Training company employee actually put 2 of these student pilots up in his house for a few days for the sake of the flight school. All of this coming off of CNN. All Canadians grieve at the terrible loss of life as does most of the free world. With the inflammatory type of statements you make against your best neighbour I can see that most people probably don't care what impresses you. It would be best if you used your brain first before putting mouth or keyboard in gear.

Responding to my own post as I seem to have directed my own tirade to the wrong poster. Emotions run high and I fell trap to my own accusations. I have apologized to Torren off-line and I wish to apologize to the list.
