We used to cross the actual border all the time while boating the straights of Mackinac.

Back in the day we'd hop over the ambassador bridge to visit the Canadian ballet. Back then all you needed was a drver's license, now they want to see a passport (at least the last time I crossed).

I think you can't even get into Canada if you have a DUI. Is that true?

nah. What's a dui, he?

I grew up in Minnesota, crossed the border many times. The northern border is marked by a boundary about 20 yds wide (with posts every so many feet/yds) where the trees are cut down kind of like a set of power lines through the woods. Nothing to stop you from crossing wherever you wanted.

Minnesota / Canada border..

Who would want to go up there anyways? Lots of Loonies and Toonies if you ask me.

Can't imagine why we would want to invade in the war of 1812.
