From the National Post (via Canada.com):
Vancouver billionaire Jimmy Pattison made a rare public appearance yesterday, coming to this border town to promote a new $200-million resort, express concerns about border restrictions and get himself licked by a large white wolf.
Mr. Pattison was promoting his new Great Wolf Lodge — a 406-room water park themed resort that boasts it has more water than the Falls itself. But the resort, scheduled to open in the spring, could face some early setbacks if the U.S. government goes ahead with plans to require Canadian visitors to show passports to enter the United States. The move will probably lead to passport controls on both sides of the border.

i hope everyone out there realizes that if that passport law goes through its going to destroy niagara’s tourism economy…its going to dip to levels like it was before the casino opened in the mid 90’s people will stay stateside and not bother coming. all the new great things we have seen built up in the last 8 years will all be for nothing and you will see many places and hotels close doors forever. we need to do everything possible to fight this idea from becoming law!!! post your thoughts please!!
I agree with you that the results could be catastrophic. It’s just that I’m not so sure it’s actually going to happen.
im here to tell you its going to happen, the bush admin. is set on it.
