Canadians will require passorts to enter USA sooner than expected

globeandmail.com: Land crossing passport rule on the way: Wilkins

Toronto — U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins says Canadians should expect to show passports at all land crossings into the United States starting next year.

The deadline, originally set for next January, has been a grey area since U.S. Congress granted an extension to June 2009.

Still, Homeland Security and State Department officials have said they want to bring the passport rule into effect sooner rather than later.

During a speech in Toronto today on U.S.-Canada relations, Mr. Wilkins said he believes the land portion will come into effect next year.
