So the options are 1)have Bush's soldiers on our street corners or 2)double our spending on the military. I'm not particularly fond of either option. A third option is to simply decide we don't need to put soldiers in all our air and sea ports just because some crackpot with a bomb gets through once in a while. I'd rather have a 0.00001% additional chance of being the victim of a terrorist attack than have a 100% chance of having my freedom and convenience restricted. -g (whycantweallholdhands.org)

Well, it Norad and the US airforce is not stationing I don't know what is. We also stationed in Germany and the US too. So where are they pointing guns at Canadians? Airport security that we cannot provide for anywhere near the same buck is not giving into foreign invasion, it is dollar$ and $en$e. We got an exepensive army of officers, with no enlisted men. We cannot afford to man stations or do security detail. As it is our airport checkers are as slack twisted as twist comes. It is just people. It is not the same as the US marines coming across the border and setting up camp due to some kind of hostility or political shakeup. (I remeber where the Marines had a 5 division excercise in New Maine at the time of the FLQ crisis. This saw a few complaints, but frankly I think it was apropos.) eC<:-}
