Thanks to the folks who appreciate America's desire to get a grasp of who's entering our country.

Likewise, should Canada impose the same rules (IMHO Canada should) then we'll happily abide by them.

   

[font=Comic Sans MS]Well the best way I can describe it as follows: The Royal Proclamation of 1763. stated treaties must be signed was here well before the provinces had jurisdiction. In fact, over 100 years before Canada was a country and the provinces existed. We are a commonwealth nation and our laws date back to the Magna Carta (1200) and Royal Proclamation of 1763. The governments forced aboriginal people onto reserves without treaties and therefore are in essence breaking their own laws. In a purely legal sense the provinces are in the wrong. Bringing it to court is a waste of time and money because the proclamation is a legal precedence. The only way is to negotiate and when that is refused that's when the blockades come up. I don't believe in blockades because it makes the natives look bad although they have a legitimate cause and the media makes them look bad and creates negativity as seen by some of the comments on here and other places.

You got it Pontiac Folks down here still believe there is a bias against black folks in Southern court systems, and that is still there, but to a much lesser degree than it was. And that is how it's reported to me by older black law enforcement and court workers I work with, some of whom were Vietnam vets and / or peace activists. However... the trend nowadays is going to those that have money to buy better lawyers. Those folks, regardless of race or gender will get a fairer shake down here.

You're more apt to get rail-roaded in a southern court (especially a Jury court) should you be homosexual or athiest than black or latino.

And don't get me started on court judgements against white folks. Just recently Harris County, the county that Houston is in was declared to be a county where the majority of folks were Hispanic, so should a young latino or latina get shot by the cops, watch out! The judges and politicians will surely remember that white's are the minority down here and make sure the cop gets a harsh trial. Not saying it's a bad or a good thing. But the days of minorities having major issues with white man are coming to an end in some counties, states and cities. You're more likely to run into issues of Church vs. State or sexual orientation as being the biggies nowadays here in Harris County.

   

alright, who keeps screwing with my posts? I wrote a whole lot more than that. Also, my posts are completely out of order. I remember responding immediately after a comment, and I even see the 2 comments together............then 20 minutes later, there's 3 comments in between.

is it something that I said?

   

I am in favour of all people entering any country having to produce proper ID... plain and simple ... its too bad but 911 changed our world.. I go to the states regularily.. have photo ID ,, pass port and birth cert.. never had a problem..... and I dont have a problem with them checking me

   

What?! They do body cavity searches at the border now?

   

even now ripcat is packing and practicing speaking with an arabic accent for his next trip down south.

   

Not exactly Shep. I was thinking maybe I'd hoop a condom filled with talcum powder and see how that goes over.

   

The whole 911 thing was a conspiracy that made some people very rich...that's how shallow some people are--kill off your country men for a few bucks

   

then there are nutballs like you who believe this bs.

   

Then there are nutballs like you that don't....
