I think not…

As of June 1, 2009, everybody visiting Canada needs a passport. This includes even good honest non-terroristic Americans driving around to see the other side of Niagara Falls.

This, of course, is stupid, over-reaction.  The government lets anybody come in from Mexico, but makes it hard to visit Canada on a day trip.

We had thought we might make a run from Niagara Falls across Canada to Detroit on part of our expected summer tour of America.  But I guess not now.

That plus gun regulations means I’ve got to say “Sorry Canada”.

    The highway from Niagara Falls to Detroit includes a stretch from Hamilton to London that was really bad a few years back. I’m done with Canada having seen enough, all except Vancouver and Victoria which I don’t need to see. Yellowstone Falls in the park is very good, especially for photos.

    Still a good stop!

    We will still see the Falls. And also do the Maid of the Mist – unless that requires going to Canada. Guess I’ll have to check on that… No Maid of the Mist and we probably won’t do it.
