... over to you, Peter.
I confess I'm speechless. I don't know whether I'm more perturbed the world's mentally afflicted have been caught in your security apparatus or heartened there appears to be an exception for Canadians who have notes from their doctors. But you may want to attend to that dream Canadian vacation soon, before we reciprocate. We have a whole special supplentary DSM devoted to American craziness.
So let me see if I have this straight: Only a crazy person would be in Canada, so trying to get out would be a mark of sanity, except that being in Canada makes a person crazy, so they can't get out.
Right?
That would be Catch 54'40".
Hmmm. The name for the Canadian currency is the Loonie.
It is all starting to fall into place.
Bureaucracy being bureaucracy, I wonder whether some low-level official in your Homeland Security didn't pen a memo to everyone suggesting any Canadian trying to cross into the States may be suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder.
