Pete, Windsor is south of some parts of the U.S. but I haven't heard of anybody freezing to death in Windsor. Maybe in northern Saskatchewan or Alberta, but not in Windsor. And winter only lasts five months. Windsor gets maybe 6 weeks of really cold weather. You just adjust for the climate.
>From Dictinary.com to⋅tal⋅i⋅tar⋅i⋅an –adjective 1. of or pertaining to a centralized government that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion and that exercises dictatorial control over many aspects of life. 2. exercising control over the freedom, will, or thought of others; authoritarian; autocratic. –noun 3. an adherent of totalitarianism. Origin: 1925–30; totalit(y) + -arian Canada does have 5 parties with differing opinions. They are Conservative Party of Canada (forms current minority government), Liberal Party of Canada (the official opposition), New Democratic Party of Canada, Bloc Quebecois (regional party focused on Quebec) and the Green Party of Canada. Canada does allow residents to keep and bear arms. There is a gun registry for all guns - hand guns and rifles. Many are opposed to the registry and have not registered their weapons. Owning automatic guns by individuals is prohibited by the criminal code. I don't know if this is the reason. But Canada's largest cities have the lowest murder rates per capita when compared to large cities throughout the world. Toronto, a city of 2.6 million has on average 85 murders per year. Canada has an immigration policy of allowing between 125,000 to 140,000 immigrants into Canada. All highly skilled individuals should be able to qualify for jobs in Canada. More information is available at http://www.canadaimmigrationvisa.com/visatype.html As to your suggestion that the Canadian customs people rifled through your stuff, the same thing happened to me a Canadian returning home to Canada. They ripped the seat out of my car and then I had to put it back. They would let me watch what they did or get proper ID from them. They have extraordinary powers of arrest and detention just like the U.S. immigration and customs at border points. Sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident. Most times crossing the U.S. Canadian border I have no trouble. It's important to look these people straight in the eye and only answer questions they ask as briefly and completely as possible.
