Canada plans to close border crossing north of Whitetail
5th August 2010
Citing the need to ensure value for its taxpayers’ money, Canada plans to close its side of a Saskatchewan-Montana border crossing that sees just five travelers per day — even as the U.S. side is undergoing an $8.5 million stimulus-funded upgrade.
Canada’s decision to close the Big Beaver Port of Entry on April 1 underscores the criticism leveled against the U.S. government spending more than $23 million in Recovery Act funding to upgrade that and four other Montana border posts.
Far be it from me to say anything good about Canada, but perhaps they know something that our government bureaucrats don’t.ell, perhaps it’s there to serve all the people who are fleeing poverty in Montana for the golden paradise of Saskatchewan.
