Also with the wet foot dry foot policy of the United States it would seem easier to obtain residence here by crossing the border from the north.

(Not space, but workers, etc).

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 <By 6 you mean 12 I think (when they measure width they mean in both directions)>> Nope, I meant 3 in each direction. Well maybe I've seen 4. But now are you saying 20 in each direction? Even if it's 10 in each, I can't imagine how much traffic would require that kinda road. To use that much room, wouldn't it have to be in the middle of nowhere. And why would there be so many vehicles in the middle of nowhere? I need a nap, my brain and imagination are over taxed.
Originally Posted By avro_imagineer No 20 total, although it could use 20 in both directions. Traffic can be VERY bad, hours of rush hour. 1 in 4 Canadians (over 8 million people) live there. Then of course you're also close to the concentrated population basins of the midwest and northeast. Which means lots of Employees to choose from.
