Windsor and Essex County donors have loaded a truck with 40,000 pounds of aid for Oklahoma Citys tornado victims, but red tape is keeping it in a Leamington parking lot.
---snip---
...(US)customs supervisors, who originally told brokers working with the charity that the truck would fly through the border without trouble, changed their tune Thursday, Sauve said.
They were basically requiring endless documentation and approvals, he said. Were stuck with a truck with 40,000 pounds of food, totally full.

Yes, not a single county voted for Obambi and his minions. We tend not to put up with his sort of bu11sheet.
I am furious over what the Democrats have done to this country. I think, in my lifetime, that we will see the country broken into several pieces; one or more Constitutional American States, mainly in the south and the heartland of the continent; and one Communist/Socialist utopia state. Perhaps, on second thought, two Communist/Socialist Utopia States, one on each coast.
Cannot happen soon enough, in my opinion. The sooner we get this over with, the better.

Guaranteed if this truck was going to MLK Street in Dem controlled BlackGhetto, IL, there is no red tape

It's becoming ever more apparent, even to the low-information sheeple, that these government bureaucracies exist only to serve their own lust for control, with their stated missions little more than a facade.
I'd dump the whole bloody mess right on the front steps their their offices and drive away. Let them sort it out.

How about a Department of Agriculture with more bureaucrats than farmers? A Department of Education that educates no one. A Department of Energy that does not produce a single BTU of energy? Do you ever wonder what all these people do?
Add ATF to your alphabet list.

Don’t feel bad. Electric workers/trucks from the South were turned away because they were non-union.

Hey, I know and I don't feel bad.
That was another travesty. If you live in a state that would rather "preserve union jobs" than have electricity, you deserve to freeze in the freaking dark.
With all that has gone on in the last few years, you really have to wonder about this case. If you read the article, customs originally gave the go ahead. Then they decided to put the screws to a Christian group who had gathered this food to deliver to a conservative state. It makes you start to wonder what the f*ck is going on in your once great republic.

They won’t let us bring it across your border.
