And that makes Canada a "nicer country" how?

That's what I'm wondering. Sure, Canada is nice, but I don't know if it's nicer than the U.S. I'm sure Canada has its good points and bad points, just like everywhere else.

Maybe because Canada doesn't charge Americans back

What is up with the administration telling Canada to pay a fee to enter the country?

Eh, Canada is a myth.

Uh...shouldn't we be charging all foreigners and entry fee?

Why thank you

I'm neither defending nor knocking the policy, but no new fee is being imposed. And Canada isn't being singled out. Rather, travelers (and only sea and air travelers) from Canada -- along with Mexico and the Caribbean islands -- willl simply no longer be exempt to a $5.50 passenger inspection fee that the rest of the world already pays to enter the U.S.

Hmm I see. I guess.

I second that.

I certainly can't go to Canada without apologizing to them for protesting the Iraq war.

I did the funky chicken over an Air Force Base blue line with a Catholic Nun. We

landed on supervised probation. The Canadian gov would not allow me across their

royal borders.

Canada rules.

If Disneyland can charge money to get in, then why not the US?

What I meant was Canada doesn't charge Americans to enter our country, hence "nicer".

I think you should start because the way things are going a lot of us may be coming to stay.

Other countries tend to be more expensive, so in effect they charge us a holiday tax. So there.

Nice healthcare though.

Good!

Maybe that'll keep some of em outta here!
