"US, Canada sign border patrol pact" by Associated Press | May 27, 2009
DETROIT - The United States and Canada adopted an agreement yesterday to allow law enforcement authorities of both nations to share personnel and cross the border more easily to fight human, drug, and weapon smuggling on waterways that separate them.
Can't you see, America?
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Canadian Minister of Public Safety Peter Van Loan met to formally sign the pact at a cargo facility at the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
Didn't see that on the TV, didja?
I wouldn't know; I don't watch news anymore. The Globe is my Amerikan MSM prison, 'er, prism (same thing when you think about it).
The agreement, known as the Shiprider program, allows officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and US Coast Guard to ride each other's vessels for joint patrols and specific enforcement operations....
Ask the cop what this is all about; if he responds that it is aboot -- or with a French inflection -- then he's Canadian, American.
The pact allows ships carrying joint enforcement teams to operate in each country's territory.
Yup, it is RIGHT IN FRONT of YOU! They call it ANYTHING BUT a NAU!!!!!!
The signing gives US and Canadian officials the authority to train each other's officers and establish the program permanently. During a 57-day pilot program in 2007, the joint effort led to the seizure of contraband cigarettes, marijuana, and the recovery of an abducted child, Van Loan said.
Yeah, it is all in YOUR BEST INTERESTS, 'murkn!!!!
The move came less than a week before new border-crossing rules take effect. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which starts Monday, tightens documentation rules for entry into the United States from Canada, requiring everyone to have passports or special driver's licenses.
Except ILLEGALS for some reason!
This is about CONTROLLING the MOVEMENT of PEOPLE, readers -- save for those used to undercut U.S. wages (of which the paper is unabashedly in favor)
Napolitano said one reason for her visit was to review preparations for the new rules. She said she understands concerns the change could impede travel and trade, and she is working to make sure the law . . . is implemented as smoothly and efficiently as possible."
I thought swine flu already did that?

"Mexico drug crackdown nets 10 mayors" by Associated Press | May 27, 2009
MEXICO CITY - Federal forces detained 10 mayors and 17 state and municipal officials for alleged drug ties yesterday in an unprecedented anticorruption sweep in the Pacific coast state of Michoacan.
Time to decriminalize the whole damn shooting match -- of course, that would eliminate the black profits that fund black budgets and black operations of the CIA and Jewish mafia, but.....
Soldiers and officers fanned out across President Felipe Calderon's native state to carry out the operation, including more than 200 federal agents who burst into the state attorney general's office in Morelia to detain three officials.
Most of the mayors are from towns in a mountainous region where there have been numerous beheadings and where federal officials recently seized 22 methamphetamine laboratories. They included the mayor of Uruapan, where gunmen dumped five human heads on a dance floor at a bar in 2006, the federal attorney general's office said.
State police academy director Mario Bautista and state governor's adviser Citlalli Fernandez, the former public safety secretary, were among those taken in, the federal attorney general's office said in a statement.
Meanwhile the federal Public Safety Department presented 11 suspected members of La Familia drug gang who were detained late Monday and early yesterday in the states of Michoacan and Mexico, among them a former Michoacan state police officer. Officials did not say whether those arrests were related to the Michoacan operation.
Scores of local and federal police have been arrested on charges of protecting drug cartels since Calderon launched his nationwide crackdown on organized crime in 2006. More than 10,750 people have died in drug violence since the crackdown started.The deaths alone are enough to legalize.
