Laugh now, cry later when we get owned by Mullholland.

Also Canada is now likely to use the same rules on Americans coming in, in the future. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...orts050405.html I don't like the headline, saying we are "retaliating".

This is funny news our auditor general (like our 1 person appointed to overview everything) released a report on our security measures and here's what she had to say about our giving out of passports. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...rity050405.html Doesn't sound like getting a passport really means anything anyways.

I saw a headline dumb like Million Dollar Boxer dead for this story.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050405/D899BTI80.html Apparently by 2008 Americans will need passports to re-enter country from Canada, Mexico, Panama and Bermuda, and Canadians will need passports to enter. More info at link.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) Perhaps that has to do with the fact that Canada's quasi-socialist government takes more and more money out of its citizens' pockets every year? Didn't stop me and my pa from heading to see the Baseball in Minneapolis last summer. -are they all socialists? also the new Canadian proposed budget will have tax cuts! http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/budget2005/

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) Might that have something to do with the exchange rate being strongly in American's favor since the mid-'90s? :rolly That's the point in that article, even as Canada's dollar has been catching up travel has not proportionately increased.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) The downside to this is millions of people everyday cross these borders for work and play. It hurts the local economies when shoppers cannot reach the stores. Tourism is one of the few areas of our economy that continues to be strong. Hotels, restaurants, airlines, and other tourism industries cannot outsource these jobs to China, Mexico, and other countries. More at link I remember starting a thread on how from Canada to the US has reached new lows, cant' seem to find it though. I don't think making Canadians get passports will help that. Oh here it is US$ decline hasn't encouraged foreign shoppers

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) Nor do I, as long as Americans will require the equivalent documentation to get into Canada. Hey as long as you got a baggie of weed, you're in.

Women should be in the kitchen, where they belong.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) I don't have a problem with that. Neither do I. Little bit of a hastle but if it could improve security which I assume is its purpose, then great.

http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpos...3a-c7e4bca5f53a What the hell is a passport?

Haha!

I'd just like to point out the fact that that is not true. Go Sox! And Capn12 did we argue about Koch in the past? Can't remember, it seems all the nuclear waste in Canada has rotted my memory to s***.

Someone mentioned he was signed by another organization, is this true?

QUOTE(Cali @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Maybe I'm just losing it(which could be the case) but has Yahoo! done away with Game Channel? I can't find a link to it anywhere on their scoreboard page. Game Channel was by far my favorite of the live streaming action things. I noticed that last night.

I'm stuck in a s***ty computer lab at school without flash, so I'm stuck with a yahoo gamecast. I know people will be doing pbp but does anyone want to give pitch count updates?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) That other thread IS the game thread. Someone else tried to start one, and it was merged into the Opening Day Thread. If that's the case it will surely be the longest game thread EVER!
