What change since 9-11 when you cross the border? (looking for interview,Cbc french)
I am reporter for CBC-French and i am looking for peoples who can share their experience at the border. Did 9-11 split two neighbouring communities? Is there anybody who use to do a lot of crossboarder visiting friends and family and hardly do it now since 9-11?
How the crossboarding experience change?
I am looking for peoples to interview for french tv [[the interview will be in english unless you speak french)
thank you

Border crossing since 9/11
Stephane,
Prior to 9/11, my wife and I used to visit Windsor on a regular basis. We were attracted to the fine restaurants, the casino or just to walk the riverfront. We absolutely loved the cleanliness and the friendliness of our Canadian neighbors.
Sadly,since then, it is just not worth the trouble. First it was the long waits at the border. Now it's the passport requirement, of which neither of us own.
I've read too many border-crossing horror stories to make me want to experience the inevitable hassle.
We are saddened that this entertainment option has disappeared from our lives and we miss our Canadian friends. But such is life in the post 9/11 world.
