That's some fine reporting there, Lou.

Dare to dream.

JerseyTim: Dare to dream.

Yeah

Um

No.

You're retarded.

America has been building fences, watchtowers, deploying UAVs, sensors, and hiring thousands of new guards in an effort to make the longest unguarded border in the world, well, guarded.

The North American Union died after 9/11, when America turned paranoid.

Everyone knows its US Lite.

And a good thing, too, otherwise all their actors, singers and game show hosts would be coming down here taking jobs away from the rest of us.

Oh, wait.

Oooo oooo me me! I knew that!

Number of actual terrorists that will be stopped by this measure: Zero.
Number of law abiding citizens of the US and Canada inconvenienced: Millions.

The sooner that Canada and the US merge the better. As long as the new country is called "Canada" and run from Ottawa with the Queen as head of state of course.

This.

Well, for border towns, the crossing is usually nothing special and people on both sides are used to casually doing this. The new rules will change a lot of that, to the detriment of the local economies.

That about sums it up.

Hmmm... I wonder what this means for Derby Line? There are houses that sit smack on the border with kitchen on one side and dining room on the other, not to mention several facilities and shared emegency services.

The husband has to go to Canada on business on June 8th. They just told him last week and he's the only person in the family without a passport. Now we're jumping through hoops to get it in time. It'[s a trip for the Navy so they should be able to rush it but ti's a pain in the ass. He has to run up to DC and walk it through on Monday.

We've been to Canada a few times. Aside from a dickhead US border guard there wasn't a problem.

Haha, fark that. We left England for a reason. It is interesting you all never cared about controlling your own affairs.

What exactly does the Queen control, well, apart from the ability to make Americans seem stupid ?

Papers please...

Like THAT'S gonna stop Rowsdower?

Please.

Her rep gets to say when our government starts and ends and has to sign off on all our laws. We don't send her any tax money, though. Just a whole bunch of maple syrup which is our one and only export.

True. My suggestion is never going to happen. I just like to say it on the few occasions any American suggests that Canada becomes part of the US. They go purple and the little veins on their head start sticking out.

Like it's perfectly reasonable to them that all Canadians should just happily give up their country but the thought that they, Americans, should give up their country? That's insane!

Newsflash (for some) Americans. Lots of people from other countries are just as patriotic for their country as you are for yours. Not everyone dreams of becoming American.

zz9: True. My suggestion is never going to happen.

It might. The sane states might have to break away from Jesusland if they decide to go full wharrgarbl.

That's not true. I happen to know you also export Labatt Blue.

Deal. We'll take the Pacific coast states. I'll have to think about New York. And we'll only take the nicer East coast states if Jesusland agrees to keep the Kennedy family.

Canadian Industry.

Can someone please tell me why this is happening? Is it to keep Anthrax from getting into New York City through rural roads in Vermont?

/seriously
//I was planning on going to Canada next week and I don't have a Passport.
///:(
////Not really that :(

I love how they're using "enhanced drivers license" instead of "national ID card" now.

Oh no, it seems I've forgotten my papers. I guess I will have to stay in Canada with their liberal social policies and state health care system...

Anyone going to Canaduh for anything other than government business should be arrested as a traitor anyway. America will only be a paradise when we close all borders cut off all our foreign support (charity) and become truly isolationist.

This reminds me of the time the Canadian Army came down to Washington and burned down the Whitehouse.

"They're doing what they are doing," grumbled Jesse Brazelton of Buffalo, who, like many area residents, travels from time to time to Canada and generally adds little to conversations.

FTA "The day that U.S. border crossers anxiously have been preparing for is finally here."

Yeah, i bet they can hardly contain their excitement.

If only those terrorists involved in 9/11 were required to have passports, this all could have been averted.

Too obvious: 2/10.

ah, I remember the good ol' days where you'd come back from some crappy bar right over the border (Quebec drinking age is 18) and the conversation would be:

"Where've you been tonight?"
"Le Rocket."
"Any survivors?"
(looks at car full of passed out people) "Just me."
"Alright, get home safe."

Won't stop the repeats either

I don't know, if you take the maple leaf off that flag you pretty much have what's going on now.

The founding fathers would be stunned to learn we failed to conquer Canada.

The slave holders betrayed us. They didn't want more Northern states. Otherwise we would have.

zz9: True. My suggestion is never going to happen. I just like to say it on the few occasions any American suggests that Canada becomes part of the US. They go purple and the little veins on their head start sticking out.

I bet they don't. Nobody in America cares about Canada. It's nice, and I like Montreal, because it's close, but honestly, we just don't care that much.

Wait, what? People have been going into the US on their VERBAL "I am a citizen" before? I must have missed something reading the article.

Albeit Canada is more lax than the US, they have always wanted an ID and a health card/Birth Certificate to get back in. Both which are wallet sized. Visitors needed only an ID before the 9-11 crap happened. But nothing 'verbal'.

Wait, what?

Dear America:
Thank your own government for this.

This is gonna hurt the US more than it does Canada, especially for the hockey cities.

Didn't they passed through the US border?.

Borders are anachronistic.

Yeah, well our export is democracy so beat that!

They did. But perfectly legally. In other words, this law and these border checks wouldn't have stopped them or even slowed them down in the slightest.

I wonder how they're going to check passports at unmanned border crossings?

Damn, that sucks. Windsor was a great place to get hammered when I was 19.

I always enjoyed the 24 hour massage parlors that were conveniently located next to the bars as well. Good times

I'm glad to see our tax dollars are being spent defending us from Canadians. Seriously, have you seen how they drive when they are down here?
