Passport for entering Canada from US?

[SOB]

I once got interrogated by a lady in the booth...I had a mini-van full of computer equipment and told her I was just headed to Canada for lunch.  I was up doing some IT work in out Bellingham, WA office with a co-worker and we though it'd be a good way to waste some time.  He swore up and down we'd get in Canada without any hassle, but would be ripped a new one on the way back in.  When we came back through on the US side, I told the guy we had just gone there for lunch...he just shook his head, gave a chuckle and waved us through.

The moral of the story: Canuck chicks are beetches!

I had my surgery in Tijuana.  My wife and I drove down to San Diego airport, parked, and a guy with a new Suburban picked us up and drove us across the border to the doctor.  

We had our surgery, then he picked us up and drove us back across the border.  We only needed to show our licenses because we didn't leave the 'border zone' which stretches 30 miles south of the US-Mexico boundary.

im having fun how silly things you are able to tolerate in name of security...

People who travell between Us and Canada are so dangerous these days....

IMAO

You can travell w/o passport almost trough whole western, central europe w/o problems and 2 countries on lonely Island will play silly game with security words ...


But its hard to say who is more paranoid if CA or US.
Canada is parnoid in long term toward Europians, but US beat them 6 years ago or so.

So ... enjoy rest of freedom you have

Maybe it was those leather chaps, and she thought you were hot.

They were actually pleather, and she was looking at me kinda funny.  I thought it was 'cause I farted, but maybe Canukian chicks dig that?!

I guess I find it funny (well bizarre, really) that you find the act of handing someone a passport or birth certificate such a big deal.  And from reading this thread, it sounds as if it's not readily enforced at the border.  So yeah, I can tolerate whatever freedom I'm giving up (not sure exactly what that would be...freedom not to talk to someone at the border for two minutes?) on the rare occasion that I happen to travel to Canada.

Of course, I've lived with the tyranny that is the Oregon / California border where I'm forced to stop and hand over any fruit I may be carrying.  So after losing the right to bear fruit, I guess I'm willing to give up anything.  Oh My™, what a police state we've become!

I find we've lost an unacceptable amount of freedom lately (just about anything under 'the patriot act', is a violation), but keeping tabs on who is going in and out of our country doesn't fall into that category.  I'd say it fits more properly into reasonable caution.

Canadians aren't exactly a problem around here, but they are their own country.  we don't control who they let into their country so just being half way alert, or would require trying to keep a tab on who comes from there to here.

Let me know so I NEVER take it by mistake

Watch out, in Oregon, there's an exit that takes you to freakin' LEBANON.  I've been afraid to exit there because the last thing I want to do is stop for gas and find myself in downtown Beirut in the middle of a firefight.
