I also think the actions described are horrifying, but again, the inclusion of that old, persistent lie about the 9/11 terrorists coming from Canada made me sceptical of the whole thing.

Big Mick, my husband belongs to a large union which operates in both Canada and the US. If this lie is being passed around among his union brothers and sisters in the US, it is not a good thing.

That lie is in some small part responsible for the insane changes made to our border crossings, for the almost fifty percent drop in US tourism to Canada over the past few years, and for increasing suspicion and division between our two countries.
