Yes, Carol, about 8-10 years ago there were a were a couple of "ghost
ships discovered off the coast of Vancouver Island. The occupants (from the Fugian province) were held in detention until the immigration could decide what to with them.

...and yes, Vancouver used to have a "kiddie stroll".

Both of those problems no longer exist.

I also re-call a situation where people smuggled in containers, too. Happened in Portland, as well. Haven't heard of any incidents in the last five years or so.

Don't re-call biker involvement though.

Are you saying its O.K. for the U.A.E. to engage in these activities because they are happening anyway?

I think we should hold the operators of our ports to a little higher standard than we do gangs.
