June 1st, 2009 marks the first day that mandates the use of passports for travel between Canada and the United States. It is a strange, if not bizarre irony, that June 1st also marks an historic, bi-lateral bailout of General Motors by Canada and the United States. Not only we share a border that now requires a passport (or some form of "super-licence not yet available), but we also share 72% of the world's largest company.
