US Launch Border Surveillance Drone On Canadian Borders?

[CanadianLove]

Yep! That is for sure! Parts of Detroit are like the aftermath of WW3. If you get lost, you could lose a gizzard!

I used to travel by Detroit on the water a lot. The patrol boats are non-stop up and down the river (all the security agencies have a boat there.)

Well, I was off one Summer for a short while so I decided to go see 'Beautiful Detroit". What a $hit hole that place is. The very downtown core, around the towers was not bad. Just outside of that looked like out of the movie 'Escape from New York'. I found out that the middle class gave up the inner city to the druggies and criminals, and moved to the burbs. There are few upper class that maintain aprtments or condos in the towers, but the rest drive in or are tourists with a strick boundry of where to travel safely at night. The street lights stop at a perimeter around the core to help prevent wonderers from going further.

I came back through Windsor, Canada. It was likedriving in a flower pot. We are fortunite country. They may not be keeping people out of the US like they seem, they may be keeping them in. And the Canadian hood they are keeping out - if you go play in their back yard you are likely to get killed. The US are doing are doing them a favour by not letting them in.

Much of Detroit is a landfill in waiting.

Much of Detroit is a landfill in waiting.

...and in another bit of late breaking news.

The first beaver seen on the Detroit side of the river showed up yesterday. Previous thoughts were that the river was too toxic for them to exist

File photo of a beaver. The common beaver, absent from the shores of the river for more than seven decades due to the fur trade, urbanization and industrialization, has reappeared on a plot of shorefront land in east Detroit owned by Detroit Edison.

Its a shame really. City is full of buildings from the turn of the century and the hieght of the industrial boom with the nice columns and intriquite work around the windows. They are sitting there with all the windows smashed out being used as crack houses.

Proof we are inproving the situation on the Great Lakes. Although that area was never really that polluted. The Steel mills really start at Detroit in that area. The Steel mills in Chicago drain down through the Mississippi. For the most part there is not much industry on the Great Lakes anymore, but all it takes is one to get the whiners crying.

Biggest problem for the beaver is real estate developers. Waterfront is premium. Marinas charge $50-100/foot for people to tie boats up with no engines so they can be on the water. :lol:

Back on topic.
From Orwell's 1984.
Quote:
"Outside, even through the shut window-pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The blackmoustachio'd face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston's own. Down at streetlevel another poster, torn at one corner, flapped fitfully in the wind, alternately covering and uncovering the single word INGSOC. In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people's windows. The patrols did not matter, however. Only the Thought Police mattered. "
