My first thought was that perhaps Canada was blindsided when the U.S. started adding peace activists to a database intended to track violent felons and the like.
But under Harper, it's just as likely they have been fully aware all along and agreed to cooperate with Cheney & Co.
The one positive effect I can see from this is that it could reinvigorate political protest here in the U.S., if people realize that moving to Canada may not be an option if things get even uglier here.
I must say I was baffled when Canadians elected a conservative leader, after years of seeing the results of conservative thinking in the States. But maybe their election was distorted too.
