I find this remarkably strange. If the issue is security, then why is there a double standard?
I know there was 9/11, and that in Oklahoma fertilizer was used to blow up a building. I think central bureaucracies in both countries have gone substantially crazy on the security end. I was Solicitor General, I saw it up close. They've gone way overboard.
Where's the push for all this additional security coming from? Is it coming from the Canadian government? Is it being pushed by the Americans? Where's it coming from?
