An armed border patrol is just what we need. I used to bounce at a bar in my younger days and my philisophy was always to stop the problems before they come in the door. We need to beef up an armed presence at borders, ports and airports, basically any port of entry.

Great idea, it should costs a bunch of money so maybe we won't be getting a tax cut anytime soon.

and sicne in BC alone we are supposed to be getting an extra 200 cops or so why can't they hang around the border now and again.

In my opinion, tax cuts aren't needed as much as cops and border guards. As a guy with a strong social conscience, I can't stomach a tax cut until the people who fight fires, crime and wars are paid properly. And we have to win the war on terror too. In my opinion, more police and more armed border guards are exactly what we need to stop terrorists and drug traffickers before they get into Canada.
