    Scary. Was it coming from Canada or the US.

    Doesn’t seem like much of an explosion (if there even was a bomb). If it was a terrorist, fortunately an incompetent terrorist.

    Although it did “succeed” at closing the crossing for awhile.

    Canada. Can't wait to see how Trudeau uses this to make Canada even worse.

    I'd like to wager this was not the actions of a female but of a male aged between 20-40.

    This incident reaffirms what I have many times in the threads on illegal immigration across the Southern border. Although the perpetrator(s) apparently never actually entered the US or even that the crash and explosion was actually a terrorist attack, the incident demonstrates that there is a greater probability of terrorists entering the US legally across the Northern border rather than illegally across the Southern border.

    Great now we're going to start bombing Canada and trying to locate the secret terrorist base in the basement of a Tim Horton's, because that's how you stop terrorism

    What could possibly go wrong with Biden's open border policy?

    The hospitalized CBP officer must have been there vacationing, not doing border enforcement

    They are now saying it all started on the U.S. side. The car didn’t cross from Canada.

    There were two occupants in the car, which I think would also be odd for terrorism. Sounding more like just a crazy person in a road rage, or perhaps even a medical incident?

    We lose nothing here by waiting for the facts to come in before offering conclusions.
