They are hoping we complain. Who cares? We already have to show some form of ID. Nice try, I'll settle for showing a passport rather than a United North America.

Canada may look at requiring passports for U.S. citizens to get into Canada
Tue Apr 5, 4:16 PM ET
OTTAWA (CP) - American citizens may need passports to get into Canada if the U.S. follows through with a similar requirement for Canadians. Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan said Tuesday that the federal government will consider its options after the U.S said it will require Canadians to have "secure documents" when crossing the border.
"Our system has really always worked on the basis of reciprocity," McLellan said outside the House of Commons.

Below is an excerpt from an email I received from Ceasefire.ca. In my view this Liberal government was so signed on to Northcom even when they said "no" to us publicly. But, now they have to come up with a way to make it look like we are not embedded while remaining embedded. I think we're being completely manipulated and lied to yet again.
Important news: Graham proposes CANADACOM
On Wednesday I sat in on a conference in Ottawa that was organized by members of the defence lobby -- including Canada's most hawkish think tanks and weapons corporations.
Defence Minister Bill Graham, not surprisingly, was the keynote speaker at the conference. But it was during the question period following his rather dull speech that he dropped this bombshell: the Canadian military is planning a U.S.-style Canada Command, or "CANADACOM."
As he briefly explained, CANADACOM would be responsible for bringing together all of the branches of the Canadian Forces -- Navy, Army and Air Force -- under one joint command on Canadian territory.
Does this sound familiar? It might, because this is the approach the United States took after 9/11 when they created Northern Command, or NORTHCOM. In fact, Minister Graham specifically said that the creation of CANADACOM would complement the United States' NORTHCOM in the defence of North America (NORTHCOM, by the way, is responsible for operating Bush's continental missile defence system).
This raises many questions. Why is the government moving in this direction? Has Canada been pressured by the Pentagon to set up such a command? Certainly I have never heard Canadian defence experts complain that our domestic military forces needed to be placed under a single joint command patterned on the U.S. NORTHCOM.

This government has depleted our forces so much that we would have to call on the Americans to defend us!
Canadcom and Northcom are the same thing!
Also in the 1970's the Trudeau government placed all Canadian Forces under a "Unified Command". The theory was that the Navy, Army, Airforce and their reserves would be placed under "one joint command". This proved to be a disaster and was scrapped in the mid 1980's I believe.
So we should also ask ourselves why the Liberals did not learn from their own mistakes.
There is something very sisnster going on here that they have succesfully kept from the public.
Such Subtle Convenants Shall Be Made Till Peace Itself Is War In Masquerade
The point is, the era of free access by Canadians to USA, and vice versa, is over.
Done.
Finis.
Nothing sinister about it.
Canadians hate Americans, Americans don't trust Canadians.
Period.
See any flaws in that reasoning, eh Spud?

Bush orders review of new passport rules<br />
<br />
2 hours, 12 minutes ago Canada - AFP <br />
<br />
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush called for a reexamination of new rules requiring US citizens to have passports to travel to Canada, Mexico and Bermuda, as well as mandating passports for citizens of those countries entering the United States. <br />
<br />
"When I first read that in the newspaper, about the need to have passports ... I said: 'What's going on here?'" Bush said. <br />
<br />
"I thought there was a better way to do," he said, noting that in Texas alone about a million people cross the border with Mexico each day. <br />

Canada has a long history of giving generous benefits to whomever crosses the border. That is what makes Canada so spectacularly attractive to those who want to do harm to America. Free "pogey" while plotting against America. All with offical sanctions! How much better for them can it get?
Mexicans, on the other hand, in the border regions, are mostly ruled by drug lords, and those same vile islamofascists that could otherwise come through Canada are instead faced with knowing that their crossing the border into America will be fraught with difficulties because the Americans are actively watching for the dopers' mules, the coyotes running wetbacks, and themselves.
So, which border would you, as an American-hating suicidal terrorist, favor? Would you be happier living in filth in the Mexican border regions, dealing with greasy drug lords? Or would you rather live off the welfare teat in Canada, and take your time to find a weak spot in the canuck line?
After the fact, now, think about the backlash from America.
Americans no longer will cut Canada any slack. Americans already consider Canadians such as you are the enemy, because of those it is known that you harbour.
Think about what that will mean to Canada. Suddenly shut off from the single border shared. All trade stops.
Canadian economy? what economy, eh?
So, go ahead. Don't worry about the Canadian border.
Let me assure you, though - You will, once it's too late.
Canadian forces were in one uniform thanks to Hllier(Spelling?) 1969 to the eighties. Ranks were uniformed to all branchs. eg. A Captain in the Navy was not the skipper but a junior officer. All wore green like the 7Up company and Navy engineers worked in airforce bases.
