The CBSA arming was instigated by the enemy of the Workers, Harper. The program is a gradual arming of all the CBSA staff. The fly in the ointment has been the various unions (acting on behalf of some of their members) who have been resistant to the efforts to arm them.

Nothing like having one of their own shot to suggest a change of mind might be beneficial.

I couldn't understand why they wouldn't want to be armed personally but some of the unions representing the CBSA/Can Customs guys are pretty militant public service types. Class warfare and all that.

That's some great imagery there.

If you look at the press reports that pre-date this incident you will see what I mean!

Glad to hear the border guard is doing well. Puzzled as to the shooter's motive, although it sounds like he had this pre-planned.

Definitely pre-planned, he must have had something motivating him. Maybe it was the voices!
