no issue here
Traveling anywhere in the world, passports are required. This is not a big deal. No one should be an exception.
If you pay attention to the news at this particular border, it is not crime free. Drug smugglers are being caught, suspect characters carrying guns over the border, criminals of all walks of life are being snagged, etc.
If you've ever lived in Canada, and I have, you will also be surprised to see a history of anti-americanism, that americans are mostly clueless about. And, this goes way back in history, so the Bush factor is irrelevant. (I was in Canada BEFORE the Bush administration, and before 9/11).
As far as hockey games, again, if you know Canadians, they will pay any amount of money and jump through hoops to see a game, yet remain passive on things that really matter, such as standing up against their failed, and supposed universal health care system (a tragic system that collapsed a long time ago).
