News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

MEXICO CITY – Canadian Foreign Minister Peter McKay on Thursday offered to support President Felipe Calderón in his fight against organized crime and the drug trade, saying his country has a vested interest in Mexico's security.

Addressing the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City, McKay said Canada would be willing to share training and technology with Mexico to help.

With a significant Canadian business presence and more than 1 million Canadian tourists visiting Mexico, “we also have a stake, a strong vested interest in Mexico's success when it comes to security,” McKay said.

The Canadian government has to say something because of a feeding frenzy in the media up north. Mexico usually doesn't get much attention in the Canadian media - except when something bad happens to a tourist. Two Canadians being killed in hit-and-run accidents in Mexico last month and stories surfacing of others in bad situations are really getting a lot of people back in Canada quite upset.
