Schumer the Latest to Wade in on FishGate

As FishGate escalates and even tournament fishermen are balking at angling in Canadian waters, Senator Charles Schumer is wading in to the murky waters along the US/Canada border in the St. Lawrence.
One incident where a young angler was shaken down for a grand and all of of sudden its the War of 1812 all over again....

Good for Sen Schumer. He's finally standing up for us, and not grandstanding for himself. The Canadian government needs to be taught a lesson on this one. They've lied about the details of this, and they've been supported by our own dishonest and complicit state department. I can only hope our own border professionals are treating visiting Canadians the same way their bogus guards are treating our citizens. Things have changed along the border. I'm not sure why. But I am tired of Canadian lies and misrepresentations about what took place with the fisherman. There also has been a shift in the level of courtesy at the border. Rudeness now seems to be the norm. This was never the case before. O Canada, what the hell is going on with you? How long do you think it will take before this creates real problems between the people of our two nations? Time to clean up your act.

You dont know Chuckie isnt grandstanding because he does it all the time, I thought AJR would have fixed this already.

Let the queens subjects suffer some loss of fishing license revenue so that they might come to their own conclusions.

Screw the Canadians. They had an idiot on a patrol boat. Rather than quietly back off their new found foolish position, they closed ranks around the dumbass. Now they're stuck. It's our job to remind them that government powers come from the people, not the other way around. Make Canada pay for a long, long time. Financially of course. Schumer has it right, for once. I never thought I'd say that. Up yours, Canada.

What's not to hate?
Big government acted as judge Judy and executioner.
Our big Hillary government backed them up on their position.
Then big government come up up with a stupid unworkable compromise while admitting no guilt.

If a business did this the democrats would see to it that they went bankrupt.

Hillary must have weighed in before doing her homework. Not smart. Typical. But you have to understand she spends a lot of time stroking these diplomatic types, not really working for us. She was either ignorant of the facts in this case or was her usual corrupt and detached self.
