Wiedenbeck, a married father and pipefitter living in Marysville, Mich., said he decided to set up the online campaign in the wake of Sunday’s rescue and the attention it generated. “I kind of felt like Canada shouldn’t have to foot the bill,” he said. U.S. border officers processed approximately 1,300 U.S. citizens bused back to Michigan Sunday from Sarnia, he said. “Thanks in part to our close working relationship and continued cooperation with CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) all participants were processed expeditiously,” Grogan said. Bradley said the attention Sunday’s rescue has received may be an opportunity for Sarnia.
