Let´s just put a micro chip under our skin on our wrists so BIG BROTHER knows all, whoops, I already have that in my back pocket with my new Drivers License!!! That is suppose to make it faster processing LOL.
Faster Processing has its disadvantages because the data is only as good as the person inputting the data.
Richard on all the Buffalo area channels and most GTA Channels they announce the wait times at the various Niagara Falls bridges. Even the two Casinos in Niagara Falls show the current wait times for their patrons at the exits to the Casino and Parking garages. 1 1/2 to 3 hours wait times is normal.
Some could miss closing time at Target.
Try to get off a no fly list. One mistake and no matter what passport your stuck.

yep a microship under ur skin ...and someone will have control over the whole world population..something about world domination it seems like in the movies
business will hurt because of this no matter what, the question is how are business and people going to react to this after a while? will people get their passports and get used to this new law...and will businesses revocer?
i´m guessing if people don´t get used to this new law...someone will eventually take advantage of this. the northern side of the border will see a new set of activites..and new stores opening...necessity is the mother of all inventions

Wonder if those long Niagara wait times are as of June 1st.
But heck, why stop there. I say let´s go for barbed wire and electrified fences. It´ll rejuvenate the art of skilled border installers. Add former Berlin Wall builders to the skills needed lists. Hey, it´s already happening along the U.S./Mexico border. But there, for some reason, all the new, smooth computerized border technology is falling on deaf ears. There, we mean business!

There are more requirements to access a plant site (oilsands) than to cross the border.lol
It´s just a passport!!!! a little cute blue book. That´s it!!!
I still don´t get, what´s the big deal?
Waiting lines?
Do you mean lines to screen who is coming or going home?
What´s wrong with that?
I am amazed with our paranohic government took them this long to implement the passport requirement to enter the United States.
How can you compare the Berlin Wall with our borders?
Com´on now...
The yanks are pissed because they have to get a passport like everyone else?
The Canadians are concern that they will have to spend an extra $100 to get a passport and as someone here said a family of 5 = $500 for a day trip. Just to get a passport.
Well, if you can´t afford $500 you shouldn´t be traveling in the first place, you should be looking for a job that pays more instead.
I can rant about this the whole day long, I personally like the idea of a passport control between borders.
That´s the way it is and it will be for a awhile. I watched on TV the other day that this might be a temporary situtation.
Guess what??
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
So... get over. Passport it is....
Cheers,
Bill
Psd. I am for my summer RV trip to Shuswap lake / Vancouver / Banff / Montana , I am going for 5 weeks.
I can´t wait. I will make sure that my passport is packed up.

sounds like a nice holiday Bill!
For those who do not live within 45 minutes of the border - this entire discussion must seem bizarre.
My friends have property at a little place called Point Roberts. It is a little patch of US all by itself on a peninsula that belongs to Canada. 60% of the residents are Canadians that live there part time. It literally takes me 25 minutes from my house to my friends front porch and I feel like I am in cottage country.
My friend is planning a birthday party for her partner. The logical place is at the cottage- except a good number of her Canadian friends have no passport or have let their passport expire (oooops - I confess). It is going to cost me $80 and it will take 6 weeks to get my new document.
No birthday party for me. sigh.

If you can´t afford $500 you shouldn´t be traveling? Isn´t that kind of elitist? Lots of students out there on shoe string budgets staying at youth hostels wouldn´t agree with that.
Liking border controls? That´s kind of bizarre. If anyone likes the idea of passport checks, then I suggest take it every time and submit voluntarily to interrogation, and let the rest of us pass peaceably through.
Funny how some Canadians support this idea, while it was really the Americans who came up with it and are pushing it. Looks like a real difference of opinion with the "regulars" on this one.

If you are renewing your Passport shouldn´t take 6 weeks, my wife just renewed hers and I got one for my 1.5 year old son and it took about 3 weeks.

No Richard, it is not being elitist. We can open another topic and figure out how and why must people by the age 35 are in more than $10K in debt.
Again, there is a difference of opinions and you are right I have ZERO issues with controls. Voluntarily interrogation? I think it is a little bit out of context.
If someone is so torked with the idea of getting a passport to travel. Don´t get one then. It is not mandatory that every US and Canadian citizen has to have a passport....except if you want to travel. Then you have to follow the law.
Plain and simple.
Cheers,
Bill
Psdt. Woooohhooo!!! I am goin´ fishing!

No problem, Bill. We can agree to disagree on this one.
Speaking of recreation, we´ve got a fantastic bike path system here that used to be old railroad lines (this being the railroad hub of the country). They weave through rural forests, prairies, and corn fields for hundreds of miles. Pack a lunch, take a couple bottles of water, and it´s a day of cycling and nature sightseeing. Just hope no sudden midwest storms blast you in the middle of your trek!
I understand Toronto has a pretty good bike trail system too, although from what I saw it´s mostly within and throughout the city. Vancouver as well.

what a brilliant use of the old railroad lines!
it is blazing hot yesterday and today. My place was 31 yesterday and they suggest it could be hotter today. Our newly planted summer annuals are gasping from the heat. It should be 22 this time of year.
