As a democracy and regardless of citizenship, doesn't _everyone_ deserve due process? The first thought that crosses my mind are Canadian terrorist mounties with snow wolves, snow mobiles, alcohol and aboots. Would they be droned by the US or captured and trialed?

No public evidence that this has happened yet, though I wouldn't doubt that it's been done. (terrorist mountie here, funded by illegal maple syrup trafficking if you really must know ;)

It's "a-boat." "Aboot" is a south park joke.
