Nah, No Way The Drug Trade Could Possibly Assist Terrorism

A tunnel crossing the US-Canada border discovered and shut down; five arrested.

The tunnel was of course for smuggling drugs (pot, I guess), although the article doesn't actually say so. It just says it was for "smuggling." I doubt they're talking about maple syrup or vintage Wayne Gretzky jerseys.

I'm sure drug-runners would never stoop to taking a nice fat stack of cash to let a foreign-born Muslim with a strong interest in US foreign policy and a big backpack use their drug-tunnels.

Incidentally, twelves such tunnels have been discovered between the US and Mexico. This is the first one found beneath the Canadian frontier.

Thanks to LauraW.

It'd be nice if they'd at least decriminalize some of the softer drugs to dry up the black market. At least that would keep al-queda from making money off it.

Sure, cameo, sure. You're only interested in "drying up the blackmarket." You're not at all personally interested in cheaper, better, more accessible wacky tobaccy.

(P.S. - cameo - just kidding - I'm not trying to imply you're a stoner. Don't want to dance up to the "libel" line.)

I dunno Ace, it could've been bootleg videos of hockey games played by NHL scabs. Canadians are weird like that.

Posted by: Iblis on July 21, 2005 03:28 PM

Bootlegged copies of mysterious never-before-seen SCTV episodes?

Why do they even need a tunnel. It's not like there isn't 1500 miles of uninhabited wilderness between Quebec and Vancouver.

I know! Anne Murray tapes!

Posted by: Iblis on July 21, 2005 03:35 PM

Well, in another article (that got drudge-alanched), it mentioned the tunnel was 4 feet by four feet and made of concrete.
I'm thinking you need at least that size and a concrete floor for moving pallets.

Is there an "obvious sarcasm" exception to the libel rules? I think we need to engineer a test case and find out.

Posted by: Phinn on July 21, 2005 03:44 PM

Phinn, you are teh ghey!

Posted by: lauraw on July 21, 2005 03:45 PM

I wasn't talking about me!

Shit, man, now I hafta sue Ace. That's gonna get me banned for sure.

Posted by: Phinn on July 21, 2005 03:52 PM

The reason it is the first of its kind is because there has really never been a need for a tunnel between Canada/US. For the most part, it has traditionally been an easy waltz across that vast border when compared to the security along the Mexico border. Don't get me wrong, plenty of illegal stuff going on down here, but contrary to popular belief, it isn't a cake walk.

Posted by: Joel V on July 21, 2005 03:53 PM

Blame Canada! Is there anything those flappin-head, beady-eyed people won't do? Criminals, all criminals! And the potty mouths to boot! (Present company excluded of course.)

Seriously, let's decriminalize/legalize pot as a good first step toward a reasonable drug policy. It's not like prohibition actually works or something.

And no, (before Rocketeer gets his high horse saddled) I'm not a stoner.

Posted by: Birkel on July 21, 2005 03:53 PM

hey, back off, those are our vacation tunnels!

you have any idea how long it takes to clear the checkpoint in Laredo?

Posted by: Dave in a Tunnel in Texas on July 21, 2005 03:53 PM

Who says that the tunnel was used north to south? Cigs and booze are much cheaper here and the profits would almost be as big as pot. I remember a story about Indians in New York running cigs up north on lake Ontario and making the border patrol nuts because they couldn't go on indian land.

Posted by: jeff on July 21, 2005 03:53 PM

Yeah, there's an irony/sarcasm/joking exception.

You're all pretty bright, for retards at least, and I trust you all know the difference between yo-mama style joking and seriously-intended slurs.

Posted by: ace on July 21, 2005 03:54 PM

Birkel, the only high-horse I'll be saddling will be yo-mama. Stoner.

And all the rest of you guys are stupid fuckin' bitchwhores.

Posted by: Rocketeer on July 21, 2005 04:10 PM

P.S. - if I get banned from Ace's, do you think I'll have my comment privileges reinstated at Ollie's? It's so much more fun making fun of that fat stupid turd over at his own place.

Posted by: Rocketeer on July 21, 2005 04:12 PM

Yo momma...was a Jew.

Posted by: pseudarford on July 21, 2005 04:12 PM

It was not 'pot' but 'pots'! As in Toilets! They only sell those low-flow four-flush jobs in the states. To get a real toilet you gotta sneak it in.

Posted by: Hobbie on July 21, 2005 04:56 PM

Four-flush?

What the fuck do you EAT?? Dude, put down the chalupa!

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.
