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

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

Discoman, I think you've been watching way too much porn. It's affected your brain and prevented it from rational thinking.Originally Written by DiscoMan
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?Might as well stay home
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!

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.
Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
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.

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.

Disco Man,
I think you need to pull out one of your Annie Sprinkle porn videos and jerk off some of that anger.
I'm glad you don't like N.Y. We don't want your kind to cum here!!

I Love New York!
My wife is from New York and I have relatives in New York.
I go there many times every year! :P
I'm not angry I just think Canadians are ungratefull jerk-offs.

Pray tell me.
(a) Why shouldn't anyone need a passport to enter another country? Seems perfectly logical to me.
(b) $97 is very little money for something that is valid for (I'm guessing) 10 years.
(c) Even Limeys can tell Canadians and Americans apart, so what makes you feel (Graham) that most Yanks wouldn't know you're Canadian?
(d) Canadians have a commie government....That's news to the whole world.
(e) Could it be that the Canadian economy is actually doing slightly better than the U.S. in absolute terms? The U.S. dollar is sure having a battering at the moment.
When I landed in Canada I was almost refused entry. The immigration officer obviously hadn't seen an EU passport before and thought my 11 year old daughter was being smuggled into the country......Duh!!!! Then, within 10 minutes of picking up my hire car from the airport, I was almost shot at by a cop.
Oh well, maybe you two are about the same when it comes to some things.Those guns frightened the **** outta me.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
$97 is a lot of money if you are bringing your family.
For example if a husband and wife went to Canada for a weekend with two kids under 16 it would cost them $358 in passports. ($97 for adults, $82 for kids under 16).

Ungratefull jerk-offs - Canada is NATO's second lowest spending member on defense in terms of GDP (only Luxembourg spends less :lol: ). American taxpayers pay for the defense of Canada and the persistent anti-Americanism in Canada is our "Thank You"! Recent polls up there claim that 40% of Canadian teens think the U.S. is evil! They got that idea from somewhere! Could it be the government and the Canadian press?
Many Americans are outraged over this and rightfully so!
As for myself I'd invade and annex!
In the past U.S. passports were valid for 5 years and I expect that to be true today.
Nrgbeat spring the loot for the passports, you need them in Canada and especially so since the Canadians don't want you there anyway and may arrest you and your family and use you as an example of the problems Canada is having with un-documented aliens and cause an international standoff or hostage drama or something similar with Washington.

I also recognise an American once he opens HIS mouth. Sometimes it ain't pretty. :lol: :lol: :lol:
When I visited my brother I was surprised by the open hostility shown by him (an immigrant, albeit of 27 years) towards the Americans. A lot of it was to do with guns and the Americans' need for them. However, as Canada's larger cities are probably just as gun ridden as their US counterparts, I thought it just a little ripe. It was obvious to me in my three weeks there, that the Canadians are generally more peace loving than the Americans and hey, aren't the Canadians just being what the Americans would like to be, by not spending huge amounts on Arms and Armies? You're both 2500 miles from anywhere and both isolationist because of that. It must have been great up to about 50 years ago, to know that no one could ever physically threaten you, but ironically that all changed when the yanks dropped the first atomic bomb. Ever since then they've been increasingly paranoid. I notice that paranoia now extends to peace loving Canada. :) :) :)
