This is something that GW said... then he thought other wise, the regs are
now, if I recall correctly 2008 when this happens.  But, in short, it is
best to have a passport for stuff like this as they want PROOF that you are
a US or Canadian citizen.  Entering Canada means a passport or birth
certificate.  I've never had issues going to the USA with a drivers licence,
but perhaps I am lucky.

Subject: USA Vanagoneers going to/thru Canada this summer???

Have heard through several sources that new Canadian regulations will
require persons entering Canada from the USA to have passports shortly.
This did not use to be a requirement for US citizens - only a valid
drivers license was needed.

Not so any more.

Don't get caught short. There is going to be a major rush on passports
for a time and it takes a while to get one under any circumstance.Any

Do it now!!
