I assume that many of you already saw this, but I thought it was important enough to share.

WOW! I've been on the road and hadn't seen this.

I need to send this to a few friends.

I had no clue - thanks! Good to know. Not sure what exactly but it's not any worse eh?

I have poked around some on the web, and I have not found much else about this. This effects our group and has prevented us from doing Northern Entry points. Typical of the whole situation, the Canadian govt is reserving the right to make all determinations at the border and does not appear to be giving a great deal of guidance. Which is their prerogative, it just can be frustrating when attempting to plan our trips.

Even the Mighty Canadians bow to the power of the dollar. I'd love to see the same thing in the Q.

Not me Wally - solitude would disappear. Call me a snob, but I like it the way it is.

I share your sentiments Bill, but I don't think you need to worry. I think there still will be about 90% fewer people in the QP vs the BWCA, and I'll be delighted if that is, in fact, the case. Most people won't want to spend the extra money and deal with the Canadian "bureaucracy." I also think there is trepidation on the part of some regarding the larger lakes found in the QP.
