Dear Americans and Canadians

Dear Americans and Canadians.
Is this really what a border between two friendly civilised countries looks like?

Yes

Canadian border guards are much more polite than the assholes we have here in the states.

...

OK but why?
I mean I can understand the need for a border with Mexico, but why Canada?

9/11

A border's a border, man. Doesn't matter how friendly your neighbor is, you wouldn't just hand him a key to your house and let him invite himself in whenever he wants, would you?

There's literally nothing wrong with border checkpoints.

damn we must have missed that memo

Americans love to point out when their country begins
Thats why they have that no touch zone with Canada and fences with us

we do that in most of europe tho

Oh and a fuck ton of Chinese cross into America illegally.

Alright, guess we're just crazy, then.

It looks just like the checkpoint to get into the eurotunnel.

I live in Northern Ireland (UK). There is absolutely no border checks between NI and ROI.
I cross deep into ROI quite often and only realise when road signs are suddenly in Irish. I sometimes take a train from Belfast to Dublin without carrying any ID.
>inb4 it's only for locals
My passport is neither ROI or UK one.
yea, what he says

UK is not part of the Schengen zone so there is a passport check between UK and Mainland. We keep open border with Ireland though.

How is that any different from US-Canada?

UK-Ireland border is completely open. I see no reason why it couldn't be the same with US-Canada.

Not for long buddy. Soon this will be europan border.

We don't trust Americans

UK-Ireland border is completely open. I see no reason why it couldn't be the same with UK-France.

That border was open before we entered the EU so I see no reason for it to be closed now.
We are so used to the fact there is no border, people would riot to keep it open.

She drove

>"38"

Miles for 2 fucking days before she realized something was wrong?

I guess if he had a land border with France it would be open too, but since there is a bit of water inbetween they decided it's not worth the hassle.

Belgians are that bad at driving.

>mfw all these people think they have the border to stop us and not the other way around

I wonder if any of my countrymen have ever done that.

Worst I've done was follow my GPS 20mi the wrong way 'cus I just started driving and didn't realize I was going the wrong way until I was on a fucking turnpike, and had to take it 16 miles until the next exit.

That bitch crossed like what, five borders, drove 900 miles? She could easily manage that in the US, and that's all the same language and road signs and shit.

>I have found myself in the US by mistake before now while driving on country roads. The only way I knew was that things like level-crossing warnings looked different. So I just kept driving north until the road signs looked familiar again and so found my way home.

28 years ago we had nuclear missiles pointed at them.

Somalians are illegally crossing the border from the US to Canada through icy farmers fields in rural Manitoba because they think Trump is going to holocaust them.

...

It's illegal to bring fruit into the States from Canada

If you guys worked together a bit more, standardised few things, imposed similar border controls for people coming into north america then having an open border would be possible.
Only thing you might have a problem to agree on I can think of is guns.

>go on a summer vacation in the southern mountains
>get bored with ye mates

North Americans do not know this feel?

Oldfag here

It used to be much easier, before 9/11 all they asked for was photo id, sometimes they didn't even ask. I lived and worked in the states for three years with no passport or documentation, I just told people I was from New York and told the DMV I had lost my driver's licence they gave me a new one. I should have stayed, it would have been quite easy for me to get a green card at the time but came back for a woman.

It's for Canada's protection. Detroit had over 300 murders last year. Across the river, Windsor, Ontario had 1 or 2.

And you generally can't cross the border if you're a felon, without getting a special visa.

Open borders with the US would raise crime dramatically on the Canadian side of the border in certain areas.

Their distances are so much greater that it's unfeasible to just take a bus to the next state.

we took a bus only because noone wanted to be the designated driver.

If we weren't lazy niggers we could just walk there.

Well there you have it then.

This is why I wish Canada/USA had bullet trains like Japan has. Lack of public transport is why I haven't bothered visiting them.

I like trains

Lots of Canadians own guns, actually. They have some really stupid laws (like certain patterns, i.e. Kalashnikovs and AR-15's being banned by name, along with any scurry black rifle that's been in an action movie once) but from what I understand, they're fairly permissive. No worse than some of our ultrablue states, like CA, NJ, or Maryland.

Honestly though, the idea of more standardization and better coordination with Canada sounds bitching. Canadians have more need to maintain a border with us than we do with them, I think. Only problem RN is Trump. For the next four years that jackass will just continue fucking up our international relations with everybody except Russia.

ARs aren't banned, they're just restricted. AKs are banned though, except the few Finn variants that are already in the country.

In some regards they're more free than you guys, as they have no import restrictions, but in most cases they have worse laws than the majority of your states.

I think the canadians have such high gun density for the same reason we do; hunting. We're at about 31 guns per 100 pop with Canada at 30. You practically won't find a single non-hunting related weapon among those 31 guns.
