I recently asked a travel agent if I could find out if I was on Uncle Sam's "No Fly List" before purchasing a ticket to Mexico , and thus find out if the ticket were unusable and thus totally worthless to me. She said "No".<br /> I asked if I could insure such a ticket against such a possibility and again she said "No."<br /> A Canadian was recently arrested in Mexico, because he had the same name as someone on the list. The Canadian government had to charter an airplane to fly around US airspace to get him home.The same Vancouver sun article listed a mother who's four year old daughter was on the list as well as another who's nine month old son was on the list.US Senator Ted Kennedy is on the list.And Harper wants us to get in bed with the US ,harmonising our so called "Security arrangements" with them, while Paul Martin signs "Deep Integration" deals with the US, without a majority in parliament and without a debate or discussion in parliament .<br /> It appears we have only two choices in this election; NDP or stars and stripes , with Bush appointed Canada's new dictator.<br /> Thank god the Europeans are questioning the matter.<br /> Brent
