Canadians Crossing into the US

#1     New Border Crossing at Champlain NY

When crossing the border this year make sure you have the appropriate papers as the USA has spent millions protecting themselves from us Canadians.

Now that they have spent all that money on the new technology they have been able to cut personnel down to a bare minimum.

Pauline, hope you have your "papers" in order. They're going to watch you carefully because of your WEEKLY trips to Plattsburgh! Never know, you might be smuggling in Smoked Meat Sandwiches, May Wests and lots of other goodies!....Diane

Hmmm - yes - we have to be very careful down here and make sure that those shifty looking Canadians aren't coming in to disrupt the peace. A nice little fence along the 3000 miles might be the way to go :)

Hi Sandy I think it’s too late, those shifty looking Canadians have already invaded the space. They're all over the States and you can’t tell them from the Americans. That nice little 3000 mile fence would it be to keep them in or to keep them out???lol

Hi Diane- On the way into the United States the May West would be OK but the smoke meat fruit vegetables would certainly be confiscated (mad cow disease insects etc). There are big signs warning you to declare all fruit and vegetables, meats and they do not allow them. Guess they want to protect the farmers.
On the other hand on the way back into Canada they are more concerned about firearms alcohol and tobacco... High taxable items.

Pauline - good point - they do sort of blend in well - but I did enjoy the three videos - I noticed the boatload of characters trying to sneak in and I always thought it was just the Cubans who did that. And the guy who guards the border from coast to coast - lol :)

The American boat people were from Cuba and the Canadian boat people were from Vietnam but those boat people were the shifty looking Canadians playing Innocent and trying to get away with fishing without a licence.
They're the worst ones.That's why they have all those guards to tell them to turn back and go fish in Canadian water.Leave the American fish for the Americans.Pauline

Sandy, maybe you guys could take tips on the fencing idea from Australia. We have fencing that runs right down the country North to South...built to keep out wild rabbits, foxes, camels and any other wild thing that happens to reside in the Great Sandy Desert! Mind you, those Wild Canadians are a smart bunch and most likely would electrify the fence after it was built...keeping out the Southern cousins from visiting the beautiful Great White North....imagine, never having to taste a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich or May Wests again...can't bear thinking about it!....lol.....Diane
