I challenge you, so to speak, to put YOUR money where YOUR mouth is and go through the chore of being selected to be a candidate for a border guard job on either side of the northern border.
One in one thousand applications are selected after initial application screening. Then comes the basic entry level written exam you must pass for further consideration. Then the physical aptitude exam is given, which you must also pass. Then the “oral” interview process, next the polygraph test and a drug screening test. If you pass all the above you are given a thorough financial screening that can go back thirty years or more. If you are still in the game you get to go through an intense mental screening process to weed out all the unstable personalities. Then you may or may not be offered a position commensurate with being able to pass twenty six weeks of border service academy training where just over 24 more practical and academic tests are given. Failing ANY one of these tests will ‘boot” you back to a civilian career.
NOW, Mr. bstark, stand up to the post and take my challenge and let me know how you feel about border guards after you become a border guard yourself. That is assuming that you ARE up to the challenge, but just maybe YOU are the high school dropout who has a bad mood in the mornings!
I predict that YOU will never come close to becoming a northern border guard for either Canada or the USA or even have a comprehensive understanding of what being a border guard actually involves. Good day.
