🇨🇦 Open borders kill, then the system lawyers up

A family of four froze to death 10 metres from the U.S. border in –23 C, with wind chill down to –38, and now the latest chapter is an appeal for Steve Shand, the Florida driver convicted in the smuggling chain. The jury needed less than 90 minutes to convict Shand and Harshkumar Patel, who got 10 years for organizing the run, as reported. That is what border chaos looks like when elite slogans about compassion meet criminal networks and real weather.

And spare us the sanctimony from the same political class that treats borders as racist relics until corpses show up in the snow. This was not a paperwork glitch. It was the predictable market response to mass migration ideology, weak enforcement, and a Canadian state that has spent years advertising itself as a post-national waiting room. Sovereignty is not theoretical on the Prairies. It is the difference between a secure border and a smuggler convoy. Trudeau-era moral vanity helped build this conveyor belt, and ordinary Canadians are left paying for the ruin.
