just got back from TO and there’s a sign posted in front of all the customs booths that says effective June 1, 2009…Passport, Passport card, Nexus pass and one other form i believe are the only acceptable ones. I think you can still get away with just a license but i always bring my passport, even though it’s expired, just in case… ---

ONE TIME ok two times. I was a young lad of a certain age. We crossed the border and got this big as bitch representing Canada (so I guess you can’t work with her). She asked where we were from, and my friend said United States. They usually ask CITIZENSHIP first, but this lady was throwing a fast one at us. She said, “No, really…” After that, we were sad. A year later we are crossing over and as we get near the front of the excessively long line of people just wanting to play bingo, we think HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE TO GET HER AGAIN! And wouldn’t you know, we get her again. And she is just miserable as ever. It was great, actually. Very great, to answer the question of how. ---

When I crossed the boarder a few months ago two people had passports One had just a license and I had license and birth certificate. The US agent on the way back was yelling and swearing at the kid that only brought his license, it was fucked up. He had been over the boarder a couple other times and only used his license with no problems. He has a passport though, I feel like he just likes creating drama. ---
