U.S. Department of Homeland Security opened its third air surveillance base focused on the Canadian border on Monday, eroding claims the shared border is the longest undefended one in the world.
The Great Falls Air Branch in Montana will patrol the border that Alberta and Saskatchewan share with Montana and North Dakota. When fully staffed, the operation run by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol is expected to consist of 52 federal law enforcement officers, pilots, aircrew and support personnel.

Not the Rat Patrol

So what in the heck are you Albertans doing to get the Dept of Homeland Security so upset?
