I've just heard that going across the border to Canada is going to be more hectic this year for anyone that had a previous DUI at anytime of there lives ! I've been hearing about people that had one 20 yrs ago, getting turned back at the border. So if your planning a trip up north this year, you better check and make sure that no one in your group has one, other wise it might put a damper on the trip ! Also, if you do have one, they'll give you a tempoary pass for a $ 130. That allows you to enter that one time. This summer, there trying to get a law passed that if you have one thats over 10 yrs old, that you've been rehibilated and will let you enter. Lately, the all Canadian show in Minneapolis,MN, where the resorts say they get 60 % of there bookings for the year, were down to 20 % of there bookings. People just are'nt booking there trips being afraid that they won't get in if someone has a DUI in there group!! Why this is happening is because in Canada, a DUI is considerd a felony, and they won't let you in there country if you have a felony ! If anyone has had cross the border lately, please let us know how the crossing was, whether good or bad. Thanks !! Flagmanonice<br><br>
