A Canadian shipment of relief goods bound for storm-ravaged Oklahoma has been stopped at the Canada-U.S. border in Windsor, Ont.
American officials will not allow the 20,000 kilograms of food, blankets and diapers into the country until every item on board is itemized in alphabetical order and has the country of origin of every product noted.
Dennis Sauve, the volunteer co-ordinator for Windsor Lifeline Outreach and the food bank co-ordinator at the Windsor Christian Fellowship, the two organizations that gathered the goods, said it's a "physical impossibility" to do the paperwork required in time to get the perishable food to Oklahoma before it spoils.

It appears as though Barry’s commie lib ‘RATS aren’t wanting any competition. The ‘RATS want to make sure that Americans think that BIG government is their only hope for survival.
Just offer FEMA a bribe in the amount of the kickbacks that they would have made if they had contracted the aid through their family and friends. Suggested 20% is the norm in third world countries and per the FEMA Operations Handbook.
Plus both organizations are Christian groups....
WTF?
sick’ probably not union either.
“Plus both organizations are Christian groups...”
Therein lies the rub!
Tell ‘em it’s a shipment of illegal weapons authorized by Eric Holder, and that it’s headed to Mexican drug cartels. It’ll be let through.
The key thing here...is country of origin. They have this fancy list that Congress gave them...to forbid food items from X countries. There never was a waiver for that stupid list, and no one in HS is willing to overlook that law.
First of all,this grateful American says thanks,from the bottom of his heart,to our good Canadian friends.Second,to Osama Obama & Pals...you don’t even try to hide your contempt for those “red state” hicks in Oklahoma,do you? If it was Chicago the shipment would have gotten through,wouldn’t it!
yep.....let the illegal truck drivers cross our southern border without a peep many times carrying drugs or more illegals yet our friendly neighbors to the north can’t even send us supplies..
American officials of “What Organiztion?”, “What Political Party?”, and “What are their names?”
Pay Back can be a B****!
I agree with you about offering them a bribe. It’s part of the present the United States Government after all, and their corruption will surely over-ride their stupidity.
meanwhile, on the southern border, 100s of Mexicans, and others, scurry across the border in the dead of the night...
Call out the Oklahoma Guard. Escort the goods to the state.
Unfortunately, the people of Oklahoma City live in a “red” state. If a tornado had hit Boulder, Colo. or Burlington, Vt., the supplies would be sailing through.
My hometown is Windsor Ont.,salt of the earth GOOD PEOPLE!
Thanks Canada.
First, thank you Canadians for your heart being in the right place.
Next, since we're fighting a war on terror regardless what Obama says, I reluctantly have to agree that Uncle Sam need to be a little paranoid about what crosses the border into the USA.
On the other hand, Canadians might try bringing relief supplies through the Mexican border next time.
