The terrorists must be laughing their heads off because they've achieved their aims at curtailing our freedoms through bone-headed legislation like this.

By the way, the one-day visitor contributes BILLIONS of dollars a year to the economies of BOTH the US and Canada.
IN other words "it has nothing to do with the cost of the passport that was just a little tidbit I threw in."

Bailey you are certainly free to do whatever you like on the northern side of the border, as we are on the southern side. Deal with it my friend.

Also where is your source for the billions figure regarding the one day visitor to either country. SInce you have me on ignore perhaps on of the others will ask you to substantiate that claim.
