Canada, Oh Canada.....

Just a short additional note about the previous post:
It was reported today the Customs Officers in Ontario, Canada walked off the job because they had an armed and dangerous subject headed in their direction. Not just a few of them, but all of them. They were shown a photograph of a subject who had escaped from custody in Kentucky and were told to let him through the border. He was considered to be armed and dangerous.

Now I know that they are not armed, but if our Customs Officers did that, the country's economy would stop. Canada doesn't trust their feds with guns, so their contract states they can leave if they feel they are in danger.

The whole reason for bringing this to your attention is the previous post which references an article, that claims that Canada has done a better job at addressing border security concerns. It doesn't appear to be accurate.
