Alaska cancels Prince Rupert, B.C., ferry service

MDK ...but...but...in Canada you can carry a restricted firearm if risk to your security at your employment warrants it. Bank guards, secret agent, private eye, armoured car personnel, sheriffs, etc.

Every community in Canada with RCMP local policing pays for it.

It sounds like convenient excuses for a couple guvvermints to finger point and cancel a service until the other one pays etc etc.

They probably got tired of not being able to "carry" firearms on Canadian soil, for their CBP guys to do pre-authorized clearance and inspections. I thought I read somewhere that the Canadian government wouldn't let them carry sidearms while on Canadian soil, so they had to hire/pay the RCMP to "cover them" while on duty. Can you imagine the CBP guys saying WTF? "you won't let us do our job, so we'll shut it down" was probably their ultimate answer.
It's our own fault for not having the "right to keep and bear".

I just saw that too. It is going to disrupt a lot of travel plans.

I suggest, with Canadian permission, we protect our own federal employees.
