hmmm...Info for CDN's heading into the US
I find this to be huge concern. We don't carry a bunch of cash, but still..cameras and so on, could lead an officer to see the value in those items. And of course...I don't really know if I have what ...

They have no problem painting ALL the great US law enforcement officers with the broad brush of corruption based on some no account Canadian Journalist's poorly researched story. A story that is filled with rumors, innuendos, half truths and missing a whole lot of documentation. So I will say it again, if your fear of US law enforcement is so great, just save yourself the stress and anxiety and stay in the safe cocoon that is your mother country. Because we all know that throughout the entire recorded history of Canada there has never, ever been an arrest, seizure of assets or other act by law enforcement that hasn't been completely justified. (though a quick Google search for "RCMP officer convicted" brings up range of officers convicted of drug offenses, assault, sexual crimes and murder. But they can't possibly be true, since there is no crime or corruption in Canada).
I don't care about the story or whether or not it's true. But the rudeness from some Americans toward Canadians is UNFORGIVABLE. I am ashamed to say you people are AMERICANS. What is wrong with you people?
The USA is in North America. Canada is in North America. We are all AMERICANS. Maybe some don't like that fact. But I do. And I am proud to call Canada our neighbor.
I don't like everybody from Canada all the time. And with these UNWELCOMING posts, I don't like everyone from the USA all the time either. Nor do they like me. But we don't need to treat people that way.
And to our Canadian friends, I apologize for the actions of others from the USA. You are all welcomed here any time you want to come here. And other than the few posters here. There are about 299,999,989 others that welcome you here too.
What kcmoedoe refuses to understand is that the CBC story posted by the op mirrors those published in the Washington Post, NY Times, Forbes mag, Chicago Tribune, CNN, etc. This is not about a big scoop from "some no account Canadian journalists poorly researched story". He is trying to minimize this as a "Canadian thing". Keep burying you head in the sand.
