'"Preclearance is a win-win for enhanced security and prosperity on both sides of the border," Canada's ambassador to the U.S., David MacNaughton, tweeted Saturday. '
'A bill with potentially sweeping consequences for the Canada-U.S. border has just been adopted by the American Congress, allowing new projects aimed at speeding up travel through the international boundary. '
'The agreements also allow American customs agents to carry weapons within Canada, question people, and detain, but not arrest, them. ', "The pilot projects will take place at Montreal's train station and on Western Canada's Rocky Mountaineer train line.", "That's because 12 million passengers already use it at Canadian airports, eight of which have U.S. customs facilities."
