Re: U.S. passport rules are 'war on tourism'

There is going to be more documentation necessary to cross the Canadian border. That is something people will just have to get used to. What form that documentation takes may still be in question, but it is coming.

I frankly do not think it will cause a huge problem however if it were to be passports. I just renewed mine and it was easy as pie. My wife just got her first one, and other than having to wait for a certified copy of her birth certificate it also was easy. So what is it that has evey one so up in arms. I know why Bailey is up in arms, but why do the rest of you oppose it, if you do. If they only require an enhanced drivers license that will const almost as much and will require almost as much documentation. In fact every realistic replacement for the passport I have heard about will require almost the same documentation as the passport itself.

The people you read about in the papers who say they are not going to get a passport to cross into canada will in fact do so if they have no choice. It's like any other change, people grumble about it before it happens then deal with it after it goes into effect.
