Interesting. A stat that popped up in the news this week regarding marijuana imports to the United States.

"Citing the latest seizure statistics, the RCMP says the amount smuggled in from Mexico makes the Canadian supply seem paltry.
Some 15,700 kilograms of pot were detected moving into the U.S. from Canada last year.
In contrast, more than 400,000 kilograms were seized at America's border with Mexico."

Nonetheless, certain American law enforcers point the finger at Canada as a drug-procuring menace.

"This issue for us is that Canada has become a major supplier of certain drugs," said John Walters, the U.S. Drug Control Policy Director in December 2002.

Of course, with George W. Bush trying mightily to woo the Hispanic vote for the upcoming U.S. election, it would be bad form to point the accusatory finger south.

So Canada, already on the usual suspect list for terrorist imports, now becomes the drug-pushing corrupter of American youth as well.

Weren't things just a whole lot better when they didn't know we existed?
