I see the problem as being how easy it is to get into Canada and receive some kind of Canadian documentation. Easy to claim refugee status. They have no ID. Borders also include ports where less than 2% of containerships are checked.

Lots of open border between Canada and the US. The Ontario border would be a nightmare to man. Last year 358 terror suspects were caught going into the US from Canada as compared to 52 from Mexico.

CBSA, the RCMP and CIS are all subministries of the Ministry of Public Safety. They are just following orders.

Yup. And the smuggling problem.
How many exit, or entry for that matter, inspection facilities do you see at say for example, Wildhorse?
Compare facilities at Aden/Whitlash as well.
Our site hasn't changed since the 70s. Theirs since 911 has in a big way.
We're not simply arguing over a Trump talking point. It's a bona fide Canadian issue.
Crime handguns in Toronto are 99% smuggled. Tobacco products like gin during Prohibition.
Forget Trump and sweep your own floor first.
Never happen of course. Politics. Don't dare offend any hyphenated Canadians.

We've put ourselves in such a bubble here. The awakening will be harsh.
Safety officers, DEI, unions, Kumbaya. Fools, you'll see.

The CBC is a reflection of many government agencies.
An example of everything you describe above.
The safety officers would be approving the programming.

Canada is so vulnerable - loose immigration polices has led to smuggling, narco-trafficking operations, money laundering, transnational crime networks, transnational repression......but hey, some people need to be tariffied.

I can't understand how that works now?
Most I know come here for better opportunity.
You can make your own luck by working hard .

But the refugee thing seems to be out of hand.
Sometimes referred to as welfare tourists.
Also attractive to the worst from the many countries in the world where the crime and gangs are entrenched.
Now it seems terrorists aren't a real concern.
They are just being mistreated where they come from.
Freedom Fighters?

So could you conclude from those numbers, Canada's and the USA's security agencies work very closely with each on exchanging security information compared to USA and Mexico.

Otherwise those numbers (52) are hard to believe with the flow of immigrants crossing into the USA from Mexico is 10 million since January of 2021.

Has Canada lost 10 million citizens to the USA during that time period?

I think the question should be why are US terror suspects in Canada to begin with?

Good point, but it would be intersting to see how many terror suspects were home grown Canadian?

[littledoggie]

You'll have to ask Stats Can.

[sumdumguy]

You can be sure they are not all here sweeping floors and plucking chickens in Small town Saskatchewan. We are paying group of them handsomely to loaf around our cities while they wait for their ride south as soon as their welfare drys up here.

It was actually Harper who took away many things on the Candian side of border security.

[littledoggie]

If that is true, then 9+ years of Trudeau wasn't enough to fix it?
