   Only at official border crossings, so they can verify that I have a right   
   to be there.  I am not allowed to just wander across into Canada anywhere.   
      
   Either you have never crossed the US-Canadian border (legally) or you are not   
   making sense.

   The message you are responding to was about two different subjects.  I   
   understand that is VERY difficult for you to follow.   
      
   2020 USA vs. 2022 Canada is not different.  In both cases, people were   
   protesting and wanted their voices heared.  In the case of 2022 Canada, they   
   were not setting fires or looting businesses, while in 2020 USA some of   
   them were.   
      
   How many missles/rockets/tanks did the Canadian protesters use?  None.   
      
   How many were killed or injured?  None, from what I can tell, which is less   
   than in the US protests.   
      
   Yet you claimed that using force and monetary punishments against your   
   Canadian protesters was necessary, but using force against the 2020 US   
   protesters was a no-no.   
      
   USA vs. Ukraine, the other subject:   
   Americans have been killed by persons who came illegally over our Southern   
   border.  They don't use missles, rockets or tanks, but they have used   
   rifles, knives and their bare hands.   
      
   > How many refugees have left the USA and how many are still trying to escape?   
      
   I think you have that backwards, in this case.   
      
   > The point I am trying to make is that there is nothing similar happening on   
   yo   
   >  southern border that compares even remotely, to the situation on the borders   
   >  Ukraine, and for the last week inside Ukraine.   
      
   There are invaders.  Joe, the original poster, whose questions to you you   
   have ignored, said besides the military things.  Basically, the US and Ukraine   
   both have persons coming over our borders illegally.  People like you think   
   that is OK for the USA but not OK for Ukraine and, although you keep dodging   
   it, I bet it is not so OK for Canada, either (especially since we might join   
   up with those horrible, threatening truckers who like freedom that you don't).   
      
   Meanwhile, I believe it is not ok in the case of Ukraine or the US.
