PJ Media

And such is the wonderful world of Pajamas Media… where the comments are open and writers encouraged to respond to comments so that the article is more of a living document. Not everything fits in one article.

Again, thank you for your comments Kenneth. I don’t find it difficult to say “despite the good work being done at our borders, there are a few who’s bad decisions make the rest look bad”. See, there. I said it.

But there are still issues and still problems with the CSBA that need to be addressed. The purpose of this article was to raise questions. I do not start out an article with the same purpose every time. Sometimes I write an article that has an opinion or two in it. I don’t think I’m unique in that regard.

I do think I’m unique in that I tried very hard during the time I was travelling frequently to do the right thing every time. We called and found out what information we’d have to bring to satisfy the CSBA and Immigration, bank statements, detailed travel plans, custody agreements… we tried very hard to do things correctly.

This reminds me… I should go visit that nice Immigration lady down at Portal/North Portal who gave us the ultimatum to get married or stop trying to cross the border so many times…

In regards to your comment, “I mean most people will not care about any good they might do, but almost everyone will want to have their say if you slip up.” I think you may just have to resign yourself to the knowledge that those out of uniform have a higher expectation of those in uniform.

I know I do. I give respect to people in uniform and people who risk their lives for the sake of taxpayers… and this is why I am so disappointed when idiots in uniform disrespect their fellow co-workers as well as taxpayers.

I think we probably agree on more than we disagree. I’d be interested in a future dialogue on this. Perhaps for a future article…
