I live on the New Brunswick border, and cross over at least once a week. Going into Canada is easy. They ask us where we're from, and the purpose of our trip. On Wednesday evening, when we all go to the fiddle jam, they are so used to seeing us, they just say, "You folks going fiddling tonight?" Then they tell us to have fun. Getting back into the US is a little tougher. Sometimes, they ask us for IDs and sometimes they don't. I guess it depends who's working.
Many of us have relatives on both sides of the border and I think the passport law will ruin the rich Acadian heritage of the area.
