Why can’t we make a cheaper simpler and secure tool like the US is planning:
Ms. Harty said a planned introduction of a passport card – “that card will be wallet-sized and about half the price” – should ease the problem for Americans who cross into Canada for work or on day visits. The passport card will be available only to U.S. citizens. In Canada, the Harper government has no plans to offer an equivalent card.
No, we have a less-secure, as-expensive, bulky plan. Excellent.
