But it probably wont pass

Why don't they just slap a visa requirement for Canadians with $60 a pop its a pretty good source of revenue.

But then they lose BILLIONS of dollars from Canadian Shoppers,For example Bellingham Washington,The city nearest Vancouver gets 30-40% of its retail sales from Canada

I'm all for it, as long as it it reciprocal...they like to come here too!

This is ludicrous. Another reason why the US is becoming more and more unpopular.

Even if it did pass the proposed fee wouldn't likely affect sales in Bellingham as I suspect most Canadians do not visit there by air or sea but rather drive by car.
