I don't know the details on the Canadian that was killed but I live on this border and have been in and out of Mexico for years. Starting back in the 60s when we were catching mustangs down there. Our closest crossing point is Algadones. Just accross the Az., Cal. line. We get many Canadian visitors down here every winter. They treet the locals like crap, They all have the idea they are better then anyone who would live here and when they are on the roads it is worse. Now when they go accross the border to by their cheep booze and all the rest of the stuff they are getting less then 1/4 to what they are paying up in Canada. They really treat the Mexican people like dirt. I have never seen a more rude obnoxios bunch of what are suposed to be human beings in my life and I've been around about 70 yrs. I wonder if the guy didn't ask for it. It is true there is corruption down there. Take it from someone who has been there and done that. I lost 6 hd. of horses to their power play years ago and at that time the cops in Mexico City rented a corner from the city. They made it pay. Some of the border towns are on the shady side due to the drug cartells. But unless a person puts themselves in this type of environment I don't think there is much to worry about. After last years election they now have a presedent that is really cleaning things up.
