<br/>
 </span></blockquote>This is border paranoia at its best. It&#39;s completely mystifing to an <br/>
outsider why two nations that share a similar heritage, cultural values and <br/>
economic system should have any border controls between them at all. It&#39;s <br/>
not like it&#39;s easy to sneak across undetected into Canada from a third <br/>
country, and lest we forget, the 9/11 terrorists entered the US on <br/>
legitimate passports issued by a &#39;friendly&#39; country.<br/>
