Perhaps someone could comment on the difficulty of Canadian "landed immigrant" status vs getting a 'green card' in the US? It's my understanding it's easier to come to the states to work than the other way around? There are certainly plenty of good hockey players at all my 'pick up' games!! DAK

Do you guys know about the coming policy change instigated by the Bush Cabal in the name of Homeland Security? (Man, every time I type that benighted phrase I get a sick Orwellian feeling in the pit of my stomach.) Right now Canadians and Americans can cross their joint border with just picture ID like driver's licenses. But within a year, to cross the border from Canada to the US will require a passport, even if you're an American. American visits to Canada plummetted post-9/11 and have failed to recover. Since so few Americans have a passport, a far lower proportion than the inhabitants of any other First World country, this provision will instill a serious chill in US/Canadian interaction. The Americans are already worried about us selling our resources to other nations like China and India, but this provision will further that realignment significantly IMO. LC
