The United States says it has no intention of delaying its plan to introduce tougher security checks at border crossings, including with Canada.

Michael Chertoff, the U.S. Homeland Security secretary, told Stockwell Day, Canada's minister of public safety, that the new regulations will come into effect Jan. 1, 2008.

As of that date, Canadians will need a passport to enter the United States at land border crossings, and Washington will require Americans to obtain a new security identity card to re-enter the country.

"It seems to me way premature to raise the flag of defeat when I think we have ample precedent and ample ability to meet the deadline," he said.

Day said after meeting with Chertoff that he doesn't think it would be "responsible" to "suggest to my colleagues or to Canadians that the date is going to be extended."

So what happened Doris? Don't want to contradict your leader?

Part of a simple solution: any snowbirds should have to pay full cost of insurance based on the snowbirds overall costs for medical insurance. Or in other words: snowbirds as a whole should not have medical insurance subsidized by those other Canadians.

Number two. Trips to the US should require that the Medical insurance plan follow the Provincial funding arrangement with the costs based on a group receiving medical assistance in the US. Such that no losses will be allowed in that group.
