Uncle Sam could soon be coming after you on Canadian soil.
According to an article in Embassy Magazine, the Harper government is moving forward on several initiatives that could give U.S. FBI and DEA agents the ability to pursue suspects across the land border and into Canada. But, according to a RCMP officer, they're doing it in "baby steps."
"We recognized early that this approach would raise concerns about sovereignty, of privacy, and civil liberties of Canadians," RCMP Chief Superintendent Joe Oliver, the Mounties' director general for border integrity, told the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence on May 14. "We said 'Let's take baby steps, let's start with two agencies to test the concept, let's demonstrate to Canadians and Americans that such an approach might work."
I'm used to seeing, on the East Coast, US Soldiers in NB around CFB Gagetown (Largest infantry training base in North America) and around the border, but this appears to be a more secretive approach.

It is highly likely Harper is a CIA asset.....His policy is lockstep with us policy.
The two definatey merging in smal increments.
Theres aready DEA offices in major cities and DEA heicopters in the skies come summer tim e.....
DHS has visited a local cannery which cans salmon for tourists who come to fish.....Walked right in and started teling the owner what he could and cloud not do.
The arrogant attitude better get wiped off their demeanor if they plan to make a low key entry in to Canada.......
Truth be known most Canadians cannot stand that US superiority complex.....It grates on the nerves immediately...
If we see these SOBs in our country trying to arrest and detain Canadians theres ikely to be a riot or two.....
If the goverment tries to join the states theres likely to be revolution.You can only push us just so far.....then stand back, we are a determined people........
Most have had enough of the US bullying the world by now....even if Harpers unaware of this.

Don't worry about, they're only after you if you're a terrorist. (Which now can be anything from wearing a mask at a protest)

I think us Canadians are a little too smart to be "eased" into allowing US Agents to arrest Canadian citizens.
