Brickbat: Border Bills
(Gabriel Vergani | Dreamstime.com)
A new border reform bill proposed by Canada's Liberal Party government would ban cash transactions of $10,000 (U.S. $7,383) or more and restrict large cash deposits from one person to another. Introduced by Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, the legislation—called the "Strong Borders Act"—also gives officials broader powers to search mail and physical locations without warrants in what are deemed "urgent, time-sensitive circumstances."
