Oh, you're not the most arrogant. Theres far worse but you're down
there with them! Some of the left wing aren't so arrogant and I agree,
they very well could put up someone that stands a chance of winning. If
your type of arrogant hatred prevails in the left then it's more likely
we'll see the left degrade even further.

What's the problem? I wouldn't dream of leaving my
country without legal assurance of going home.


I'm in the same boat as you, I've a passport, so whenever I leave

Canada, I
take it with me.

The problem is that many, many people don't. People who live in the

states
and provinces along the US-Canada border often cross the border to go
shopping, skiing, etc.

One time I crossed into the US and was not asked for any

identification at
all. In fact the custom inspector's only question before waving us

through
was "Y'all Canajun?"
For people used to that sort of treatment, this presents a big

change.

I've been to the US a few times, always by car and NEVER once asked to
produce ID...not even a driver's liscence. I'll be damned if I'm
getting a passport to travel to the US for a day...the number of day
trips across the broder will certainly drop. Could put the Windsor
casino out of business...
