Gah.

I’ve been putting off the inevitable.

I need a Canadian passport. I’ve known I was going to need one for awhile but it hasn’t helped that the US and Canada–so far the only countries for which I need a passport can’t decide exactly when I’ll need it. Canada gets miffed because they believe that the US is being too restrictive and the result will be less tourism at the US-Canada border and the United State’s official stance is that Canada is too lax and that the Canadians are letting in all kinds of undesirables at the Canadian borders and those terrorist-types are slipping across the relatively easy-to-cross US-Canadian border. It’s been at least six months since I read an update on this “family feud” but if I don’t want to be at the whims of two countries (bad enough being at the whims of one) I’d best just apply for a passport and be done with it. Until the next security implementation which I’ve heard will be a sub-cutaneous microchip in your neck.
