Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / September 2005Canadian border gangs
Just read "Hidden Prey" by John Sandford. Pretty good book on the whole, but one passage made by sit up and say "What the...?". It was: "Canada is notorious for the criminal gangs along the border, preying on Americans," Lucas said. "They work over here, go back there, and take advantage of the lack of coordination by the cops." In the context of the story, the guy means this seriously. Does this have even a tenuous link with reality ? It's so far from my concept of Canada as induce a wobble in my worldview !!! Nick > Just read "Hidden Prey" by John Sandford.

It was as big a surprise to me as it is to you, and I spent the last 16 years of my career working very close to 3 of our border crossings in a law enforcement capacity. It's a crock. Thanks guys - my world is now spinning a little more smoothly on its axis again now ! > > Just read "Hidden Prey" by John Sandford.

Unless of course you consider the criminal gangs operation on the border reservations that are involved in the cigarrette, alcohol and drug trafficking... but I realize that was not the context of the statement.

They'll foul your clothes, foul your car, hiss and bite at you. They cross borders with impunity and without documentation! They travel in gangs all over the US, fouling up our lakes and rivers. If ever there was a group that should be profiled and deported it's Canadian Geese! :-(  Signature________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

Very diversified, these geese gangs are. Maybe it's yankees that need cleansing. The so-called "Canada Geese" were on their flyway long before there were (gag) Wally Marts. |
