The park celebrates the unguarded United States/Canadian border that stretches from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The park features horticultural exhibitions and the giant, commemorative, concrete arch that straddles the border of the two nations. The countries co-maintain the monument."

I am sure you would have a great time on SNL - look what it did for Al Gore's self-confidence when he appeared on SNL after losing the 2000 Presidential race?

Paul Martin Lies reminds us of the Liberals' distorted, incongruent thinking as Canadian voters go to the polls tomorrow. Paul Martin Lies: Martin predicts comeback like in 2004

Some BC Government bureaucrats are attempting to bully Costco Wholesale into divulging private details of their members to the Province, so that the Province can identify purchases by BC residents and retroactively impose BC PST on those purchases. Very strange. Fighting for Taxpayers: Cross-border shopping
