Border crossing monitorDriving from Ontario to the U.S.? The Ontario government joins the cluetrain and updates border delays online four times daily. No sign of similar services at, say, Quebec or New Brunswick sites.

Thanks for posting that, Joe. I live in Duluth, MN (about 2 1/2 hours 'south of th' border') and we were pondering yesterday if it's still possible to run over to Canada for some campin' or drinkin' or draft dodgin'.

You know, I was thinking of using that crossing too, in a few weeks. Thanks for the link (and all I'm going to do is get some Canadian editions of Harry Potter books...yes, I am wacky like that.)

Although I have to wonder what "no delays" at the crossing would mean...no delay on getting into Canada, or no delay on getting back into the States? I've never had a problem with the former; it's always been the latter that takes the most time.
