The unarmed guards have a clause in their contract that allows them to leave their job if they think they're in danger.
They invoked the clause Friday night for the second time in a month.

As it stands, border guards are supposed to allow anyone suspected of being armed and dangerous into Canada and then call police. HAAAA! Then what are you paying them for?

Poor Canada.
They must have lost their cojones somewhere along the way.
Perhaps we can send them a Troop of our Boy Scouts to protect them until this dire emergency lapses.

This muddleheaded pacifism of the Canucks may well turn out 2 be a security threat for the US. We oughtta take this seriously. Can't Harper do something sane to at least startreversing the madness? Any Canada observers who can point out to any good the man's done since being sworn in?

Isn't it obvious. It's part of Canaduhs French heritage.

And how are "UNARMED" guards supposed to apprehend somebody?
Give them guns and I bet they'll be a little more courageous!

After this incident, Conservative MP Vic Toews, now the Justice Minister, said border guards would be armed as soon as possible.
To: Madame Dufarge
Calling them "Guards" is an insult to anyone who has served in such a capacity. "Border Attendants" would be more appropriate.

Could well be. On the other hand, that's a rather odd contract clause for a guard.

Do they hand out paper towels to dry your hands as you cross the border? Do you tip them a buck?

The guys aren't pussies. They've been agitating to be allowed to carry firearms.
This is an effective way of making their point.
Under the Liberal government they were ignored.
It's the Liberals who were disgraceful pussies.
The article points out that the new Conservative gov't will arm them ASAP.

I'm sorry but these guys are pussies! What a disgrace! Really? I'd like to see you stand there with a uniform that looks like a cop, with no gun, and try to stop some meth hopped thug or gang banger who's armend to the teeth.
I don't blame these guys. Suicide shouldn't be part of the job description. They need to be armed.
