Apparently our great friends and neighbours to the south are considering giving us a present at their own expense! To think they care that much about our safety is heart warming!

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) agency suggests erecting fences along parts of the Canadian-U.S. border might be one way to keep terrorists and criminals out in future, reports the Canadian Press.
"Selective fencing" is one of the various security-enhancement options proposed in a draft report by the agency that was released two weeks ago. Other suggestions in the report include upgrading border-patrol checkpoints and using technology like cameras, radars and scanners to beef up security.
The report stresses the proposed fencing would be nowhere near as extensive as the fencing that currently divides the border between the U.S. and Mexico, at one point stating: "it is unlikely that fencing will play as prominent a role on the Northern Border, given the length of the border and the variability of the terrain."
