Well, that's not what I hear. Do you really think the non-U.S. market has fewer passport restrictions?
If you're so worried about your sovereignty, then you shouldn't mind if Canadians are subject to the same U.S. immigration/customs procedures as any other country. No special privileges, no special breaks, no nothing.
Just because the U.S. says something is green doesn't mean Canadians automatically have to say it's blue, you know.
