Or, if you're an easilly vetted VIP -type you are welcome to join the NEXUS scheme. Or simply get a CANPASS if you travel a lot on business. Both require a lot of snooping though, so if you're one of those who could be classified as an "ALTERNATIVE" -lifestyle type you better just stick with the old passport.

Truth be told…you'll REALLY NEED the passport to RE-ENTER the U.S…not to gain admittance to the great white north:

At Issue: Your passport to more headaches

Canadaâ??s tourism industry is a strong supporter of increased border security - a fact of life in the post-9/11 world - but recognizes that freedom of movement remains essential. Maintaining the efficient flow of people across the Canada-United States border is a particular priority for the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC), given that over 34 million US residents visited Canada in 2004 alone, including more than 27 million who travelled here by car.

However, cross-border movement is being threatened by documentation rules announced in April as part of the US governmentâ??s Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI): all travellers to and from the United States will be required to have passports or â??other secure documentsâ? to enter or re-enter the country. At the end of 2005, the new rules will apply to all travel from or through the US, by air or sea, to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda and Central and South America. By the end of next year, they will take effect for all air and sea travel to or from Canada by US or Canadian citizens. And, as of December 31, 2007, Canadian citizens travelling to the United States and US residents returning home via land border crossings will also be required to have passports or â??other secure documentsâ?.

nothing on this page says anything about US citizens NEEDing a passport at this time.

This is the last time I'm going to say it.

The US is requiring Canadians beginning next year (2007) to show a passport upon entry to the US.

And the US is requiring US citizens to show a US passport upon re-entry to the US in 2008, prompting Canada to ask US citizens for their passport upon entering Canada so they don't have to deal with all of the Americans stuck on Canada's side of the border.

There will be similar requirements for Baja, Mexico.

but what about now?? i cant find anything about needing a passport now!

I see what you mean. I'm too am really struggling with "beginning in 2007" and "in 2008"- anybody able to translate that to the Queen's English for my Canadian friend?

so wait, in 2007 , Canadians will need passports to enter the US and in 2008 US citizens will need passports to enter back into the US.

but what happens in 2009?

Foul Play In Death Of Livermore Teen
By Noel Cisneros

Jan. 22 - KGO - Investigators suspect foul play in the death of a Bay Area teenager. Kayla Reed's body was found in a canal in Tracy. She had been missing from Livermore for more than a month.

Fifteen-year-old Kayla Reed was reported missing on December 5, seven weeks ago. Livermore police now believe she was murdered shortly after she disappeared.

Sgt. Joe Herrera, Livermore police department: "We were able to positively identify the body found in the river as the missing person Kayla Reed."

Reed's body was found floating in the Delta-Mendota Canal outside of Tracy on Janauary 10. Police have not determined the cause of her death.

They believe she was dumped there and that it was not a suicide.

Her mother reported Kayla missing after not seeing her at their Livermore home for two days. For the first month, Kayla's case was investigated as a runaway.

Neighbors paint a picture of Kayla Reed's home as a noisy place, with lots of yelling. Police had been there numerous times, long before Kayla disappeared.

Ross Gaunt, neighbor: "Yeah, we did call the police a couple of times just to get them to turn the music down. There were times when there was a large argument and Kayla would leave and the mother would argue with her and yell, 'Get back here.'"

With many runaway cases, teens contact their friends. Kayla had not done so. She had logged on to her MySpace.com website a day before she disappeared.

Devin Seguirant, friend of Kayla: "She was a quiet person. She was pretty much basically to herself. She had four main friends."

Devin Seguirant's known Kayla since middle school. He says Kayla was an average student not known to be a troublemaker.

Devin Seguirant, friend of Kayla: "I don't think MySpace has anything to do with it. I think that she just one day ran away from home, got real mad at her mom and ended up meeting some guy somewhere I think."

Investigators are asking anyone with information about the crime to call Livermore police at (925) 371-4900 or the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400.

'MySpace' Parody Launches Film Career

Mon Feb 27, 8:10 PM ET

Amateur filmmaker David Lehre first screened his short film "MySpace: The Movie" about a month ago at his 21st birthday party.

Since then, the spoof of the popular networking site has been viewed more than 6 million times through various online sites and has prompted a development deal offer from MTVU, contact from Hollywood managers and a complimentary e-mail from MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson.

"I've never had stuff go as fast as it is now," Lehre, who still lives at home with his parents in Washington, Mich., told the Los Angeles Times.

Lehre started making films with the same cast and crew in 10th grade, after he and his friends where denied parts in the high school theater production of "Little Women."

"I thought, 'Let's make a movie.' They're like, 'Do you know how to make a movie?' I was like, 'I don't know. I'll figure it out,'" Lehre said. "I was sick of other people deciding if I could entertain or not. I thought, if they won't give me a chance, then I'll make my own movie."

Lehre's 11-minute short parodies the habits of the popular social networking site. It is told in five scenes, beginning with an underwear-clad teen who vainly takes pictures of himself in the bathroom until his mothers barges in. Another scene features a showdown between a boy and his girlfriend who demands his password to view incriminating photos on his page. The final scene shows a partygoer â?? an actor portraying MySpace's Anderson â?? vomiting while his friends capture it on camera.

The film was written by Lehre and his best friend, Jeremy Kerr, and the skits were improvised by them and their friends. It took Lehre two months to film, edit and score the movie.

Lehre said he and his friends have 50 films to their credit and receive the support of local businesses, including a theater that screens their latest projects.

"MySpace: The Movie" was posted Jan. 28 to Lehre's personal Web site, DavidLehre.com, and three days later it was placed on YouTube.com by a user named "eggtea," who downloaded it from Lehre's site and uploaded it to the popular video sharing site.

About 20,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube each day and more than 15 million are watched. With 3.4 million viewings, "MySpace: The Movie" ranks as the site's most viewed video.

The film also has been on rotation on Current TV, a new network aimed at the 18-to-34-year-old audience that reaches 20 million U.S. homes.

Lehre was recently offered a development deal by MTVU, which is MTV's on-air, online and on-campus network.

"The whole point here is to incubate and develop (Lehre's) talent even further as we showcase it," said MTVU's head of programming, Ross Martin.
