irregradless.  i am proud of it and dont consider you insults to be any more potent than the memetic tippy typing of an unseen specter in the mist.

Canada anounces trade sanctions against the US for thier illegal tarifs on soft wood lumber(billions of dollars that the US has been stealing from Canadian logging companies for years) and the US anounces that Canadians will require passports to enter the country.

Times they are a changing.

The only stuff I have a problem with is that I have to have a passport to enter MY OWN COUNTRY!!!!! Especially since I have one of the new hard..real hard to forge Military ID cards...what will they want next? a DNA sample?


Yes in fact the US requires a biometric ID with the passport - so it's not just a passport you get registered through your biology to a national database.

Yeah... because of a passport.  Nuclear holocaust in a paper booklet. Ragnarok. Armageddon. The End of Days.

It's all over... sniff... and it started with a passport.

Thanks for the dramatic interlude. Guess I'll go have my coffee.

The times must be changing if a normally level-headed guy like you really thinks those two news tidbits are actually linked.

I mean passports. THAT will show you guys not  to slap trade sanctions on us, right? Better watch it... next we won't let you have any of our Bud Light or other great tasting, less filling beers. The beer-drinking population of Canada will quake, I'm sure. ;)

If this prevents Slo from visiting... well, I guess every cloud DOES have a silver lining.

You are either stupid or you don't travel.

This is going to be a hit the US much harder than Canada. AFAIK most US citizens don't have passports and getting one takes 6 months.

Not that I'm condoning the US chiice in this matter, It's your choice of course. Personally I'd have hard time going back to times when you had a passport control every time you crossed a border in Europe. Not to mention you had to change currency.

Well Mora, I am not stupid, neither am I landlocked.

Have travelled half way around this world in my 45 years, always had a passport, and never had any problems.

As far as taking 6 months to get a passport. Well, sounds like a personal problem to me.

As this whole thread is about to degenerate into a flame fest, I am stepping out.

Cheers,
