Re: #8. Just as is so desperately needed with the UK Met Office a major house cleaning is long overdue in the upper management of the CBSA. When Canada Customs morphed in the CBSA the main focus should have gone from catching Canadians with over their allotment of Velveta Cheese to real honest to goodness law enforcement. The same senior manager 'government clerk' minded bean counters moved over into a world they have absolutely no concept about. Governments in both countries have been infiltrated and poisoned with legions of liberal progressive limp wristed and therefore dangerous clowns. Professionally trained in the handling of firearms, but not allowed to carry them in the most dangerous of work. Consulation prize, well you can wear your kevlar vests boys and girls and God speed.

As the Queen of Hearts roared in Alice in Wonderland, when it comes to those senior management in CBSA who are intellectually impossibly frozen forever in their own little don't worry be happy la la land…… "Off with their heads"!
