The new law comes into effect tomorrow..so if'n you chaps want to come north and sample some real beer and have a chin wag round my barbie at any time you'll need your little book to get back to the ol' US of A.

only 32% of Americans have passports - not big on travel, it seems, and I don't figure many will want to get one just to come up for a Hockey Game or a quick gawk at polar bears frolicking round the garbage dumps so there goes our Tourism industry down the drain unless we can convince the Chinese to flock over in large numbers and drop some of the US dollars they're hoarding...

Still, with the Canajan dollar inching up to par with the Greenback [ currently at 90-91 cents to the US Buck ] we might pop over to the border for some cheap shopping sprees and such as 55% of us got passports which will get us into the US and out again..

Things that bad you guys don't want to leave the backyard and see a bit of the world?

Rocketeer I went up there once and nothing against you guys but not interested in leaving the country ever again, been to many places while I was in the army.
