100% Common sense! At some point, the Canadian government needs to prioritize Canadian and permanent residents; And let employers cover the cost of discounted private insurance for work permit holders.

It's not as if Canadians want to stay here. Let's face it they have a much better life in Canada than we have here.

"Reciprocity!" my fellow Canadians, the Yanks bit the hand of kindness and friendship time to let them have a taste. Having travelled a lot in the big wide world I can honestly say "Transit Visa's" for Yanks wanting to go to Alaska, Point Roberts and the North West Angle should focus the "murican mindset wonderfully" Far too long have we give them a break.

CANADA does NOT HAVE a 'Housing Crisis". The housing crisis is in Vancouver & Toronto, because we let ALL the immigrants move there. But there are a thousand small towns across the country that need immigrants to stop from becoming ghost towns. The failure was in the Liberal Party deciding that getting the immigrant vote was how to win elections, so they let immigrants decide where to go, which didn't help the country. I should know.. I owned a 28-suite apt. block in Winnipeg (not even a small town!) and my property value dropped below the mortgage cost because more people were leaving Manitoba than entering at that time. I lost my block. Thanks, Liberal Party of Canada.

I'm across twice a week, never an issue. But understandable that the Americans would increase security since the Canadian Liberal government let anyone into Canada.
