I would like to know if anyone has heard about this. As broadcasted on BCTV news this week, there is talk about the possibility of American officials being allowed to carry guns (pistols) when in Canada. They will not need any special clearance. After the initial news report, there has been no mention of it since.

Yes they are talking about law enforcement officers . It would be reciprocal if Canadian law enforcement officers wanted to pack arms on the US side of the border... No additional permit or import and export permit required .

North American Union. Canada, United States and Mexico will all be one country soon. Just one more step in the process of erasing borders. First the U.S./Mexico border and now, the U.S./ Canadian border. When it all becomes final, we will all be making the Mexican minimum wage... about 1500 pesos a day. The really good thing is that we will all have socialized health care. Whoopie! Socialism for the rich, free enterprise for the poor. Do they teach Spanish in Canadian schools?
That reminds me of a good joke. When does a Mexican become Spanish? When he marries your daughter.

I reckon that sort of merge SHOULD improve conditions in all 3.
It won't.
