But he believes there are ways to "facilitate travel" and "facilitate trade" while improving border security with the use of certain technologies, such as a kind of swipe card. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, speaking at the tri-lateral press conference with Bush and Mexico's Vicente Fox, said senior Canadian and American officials will meet soon to discuss how to meet the document requirements. "We're obviously concerned that if we don't move quickly, properly, on this, that this could have effects on trade and movement of people, conventions, you name it, that is not helpful to our economy or our relationship.'' http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060331/harper_mexico_summit_060331/20060331?hub=TopStories [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on April 2, 2006]

    Canadians are always ragging on the Americans but now complain that the USA is making it undesirable for them to drop by for a visit. Only southbound travelers need apply as Canada has yet to implement the card. Business people have no gripe with the card and if Canadians want to pay the admission, they can go south. Americans entering this country need the cards only to return home. I don't see the problem! Maybe Canadians will stay home to shop and the Americans will do the same. The border is only a line and Bush is building the wall.

    I could stretch to find an up side to this. It will likely be the CCCE and crime ring associates that will require a cross border ID so once they are issued them the rest of us that don't have to holiday in the USA and are not criminals will be safer having the crime ring ID'd.
