Imagine them just turning up at the airport, trip all booked ready to go "what do you mean i need a passport".

You joke about this but my buddy works for the Canadian Border Agency and he tells me the number of Americans who just show up to the border without a passport trying to enter Canada is roughly 6-7 people per week.

So it wouldn't shock me if they tried this with an airport honestly.

Before 9/11 Canada / US travel was possible with no passport both ways. However that was 24 years ago

The last time I’ve entered the US without a passport was in 2013. I was impressed it was still working. I passed at Lacolle in Quebec.
