Until they hurt someone. When they need to flee law enforcement, it's places like New York that they can run to.

We have the same issue here. Criminals try to flee the country, and they'll go to Canada or Mexico, whichever is more convenient. There was a prison escape in New York in 2015 where the escapee was captured just 2.4km from the Canadian border.

Illegal immigrants are smarter than mice, and mice can find their way through a maze. With the Mexican border secured, it seems scientifically logical that they'll start taking the Canadian route.

Let's see what Mark Carney is made of. If he can end the trade fiasco with the USA, then Canadians might appreciate him. But if he can't do i by election day, then maybe you guys need an eye for an eye (a Trump for a Trump!)

That sounds excellent to me! What's your impression of Doug Ford? How well is he doing for you personally?
