A Tightening Border Has Canadians Worried

    From the New York Times:

    As theater, the “Oh Canada Eh?” dinner show and the Shaw Festival, whose current season includes an Ibsen play, have little in common. But while their productions may appeal to different kinds of audiences, the organizations behind the two theaters have the same worries about a relatively recent American law that will require anyone crossing the United States-Canadian border to show a passport or a still undetermined equivalent.

    “It’s become the war on tourism, not the war on terrorism,” said J. Ross S. Robinson, the president of Canadiana Productions, owner of the “Oh Canada Eh?” revue. He said the new rules had already led to cancellations from the United States even though they do not go into effect for land travelers until the end of 2007.
