The New Passport Rule

[nrgbeat]

Within the next couple of years, if you travel to Canada you will need a passport to get back into the U.S.

If someone wants to spend a weekend in Toronto, they have to shell out $97 for a passport. :x :x :x :x :x

Good idea and long overdue.
IF you like Toronto you can always immigrate to Canada then you wouldn't need a passport.

Discoman, I think you've been watching way too much porn. It's affected your brain and prevented it from rational thinking.

If a family wants to take their kids for a weekend up to Canada they have to spend $97 for each adult and I believe approximately $80 for each kid. Add that in with the cost of gas, hotel, food.
Might as well stay home.

Isn't that the point?

We (the U.S.) pull our substantial tourist dollars out of Canada and just MAYBE it will force the Canadians to stop acting like assholes towards us and realize what side their bread is buttered on. Until then PASSPORTS!

Passports ARE a good idea, though under different circumstances a a certified birth certificate or draft card would
be sufficient.

Ya know, I just think this passport thing is more smoke and mirrors designed to appease the red state mentallity.
The presumed hijackers to the best of my knowledge all got here legally. All this will do is add further burden to the average citizen crossing borders. I'm not saying you shouldn't provide some ID but this measure is meaningless!

Ya, time for another Salma spanking. I am the guest above :D

The change is being put in place due to pressure from the US government. In practice, it's irrelevant, since soon American citizens will require passports to re-enter the US from *any* country, including México and Canada.

Indeed they did. And contrary to popular belief, they did not enter the US from Canada.

Two points here:

- Far more Canadians visit the USA than Americans visit Canada. If all Canada-USA tourism was stopped, the US would lose far more.
- The rule is being put in place due to US pressure. The US had already announced that they were changing the rules and soon will require all Canadians to have passports to enter the USA.

The Canadians cum here because the U.S. is nicer and we're a friendly people. I live in New England, why would I even WANT to go to Canada? Living in Massachusetts is like living in New Brunswick anyway.

And we're nice to the Canadians when they cum here, we go up there and many of them act like ignorant assholes. And I've been to Canada so...

And it's a good idea for the Canadians to have passports when they cum here. So they can be identified as foreign aliens.

Now if they don't like having to have passports and bitch too loudly we could always invade Canada, burn Ottawa to the ground, return New France (Quebec) to the Frogs, give the maritimes and New England their independence and annex the Western provinces.

Hey Discoman. Since you used "cum" twice in your last post, I gather you are just being amusing and not to be taken seriously in that post. 8)

Some of it may not be taken seriously though I do like the idea of invading and burning Ottawa and giving New England it's independence.

Indeed, since outside of The South, you'd have a very hard time distinguishing us from your other countrymen.

Nobody here is bitching too loudly. Your country, your rules. This thread was started by an American who didn't like another country imposing the same rules as his own.

Now, hold on a minute. I wasn't pointing fingers at the Canadians.

I just made a statement that I wasn't happy with the new passport rule. I'm sure Canadians who travel to the U.S. feel the same way.

The reason I brought it up is because I and several others in upstate N.Y. liked to go to Toronto on weekends. Having to shell out $97 is going to deter many of us from going. Particularly those that have kids.

[DiscoMan]

I feel sorry for those living in upstate NY - life there sucks more than it does here in Mass. Spring the loot for a passport and your problem goes away. I feel sorry for you but not that sorry.

And since the Canadians and their pinhead communist government dislike us so much why would ANY Canadian even want to come here for any reason at all?

Most of my family came from Canada 100 years ago. Why did they leave Canada you might ask: Because Canada sucks - they told me that themselves and since I've been to Canada to see for myself, I'm not inclined to argue the point.
