Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day acknowledged Thursday that U.S. agents conduct investigations in Canada but said all are done according to Canadian law.

Day was responding to a report regarding an internal FBI audit that shows U.S. agents are carrying out investigations without the approval of the Canadian government.

It says the FBI has given agents in its Buffalo field office clearance to conduct "routine investigations" up to 50 miles into Canadian territory.

... The inspector general's report documents 135 unapproved FBI crossings and says there is no sign the crossings will stop.

" Eighty percent of Canadians live within 200 km of the United States"

And the US is, and has been after our resources for decades - soon, water will be a main issue - -

from the link:

Canada is the world's second-largest country in total area, after Russia. However, it has an extremely low population density of 3.2 people per square kilometre. Eighty percent of Canadians live within 200 km of the United States along the International Boundary, where the country's most temperate climates are located. While Canada covers a larger geographic area than its neighbour, it has only one-ninth of the population. Canada's vast and rich territory has led to a historical economic dependence on its natural resources.

The most densely-populated part of the country, the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River Valley in the east, was the first to be settled by Europeans. To the north of this region is the broad Canadian Shield, an area of rock scoured clean by the last ice age, thinly soiled, rich in minerals, and gouged with lakes and rivers— over 60 percent of the world's lakes are located in Canada. The Canadian Shield encircles the immense Hudson Bay.
