Canada's procedures are "not airtight," he told a homeland security subcommittee in the House of Representatives.
"They're not as good as ours. The Canadians do have this Commonwealth issue. There are a lot of would-be terrorists who live in Britain, not to mention Pakistan and south Asia (with direct access to the Canada)."

"The Canadians do have this Commonwealth issue."
Well there you go. We have civil liberties and belong to the Commonwealth. That in it's self is concern to the Americans. It makes one wonder, with all their spies and spying devices, that they would need to "keep a closer eye on Canada". Just what is there they don't know and hasn't been revealed to them freely by the Canadian Government. About the only thing they (may) not know, is which hand Harper uses to wipe his butt.
