Starting next week, citizens of the United States and Canada wishing to cross the border from Canada to the U.S will be required to produce two documents. These documents are a proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, and government issued identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.
This new move comes as a means of regulating movement in and out of the country. Previously no proof of citizenship was needed. All some one had to do was declare that they were either American or Canadian and that would be sufficient.
Many American businesses are concerned with these new laws now. They say that these laws will decrease the number of tourists from Canada come to the United States. Many shi resorts will suffer from these new regulations, as many Canadians cross the borders in order to go on a ski vacation there. Businesses are also concerned that these new laws will create large back ups at the borders, maybe even hours long. This happened last summer when small changes to the border laws created mayhem at the borders.
Almost 50 percent of skiers to Vermont come from across the Canadian border. The ski lodge flies the American and Canadian flag and they also accept Canadian currency.

You have most likely heard on the news or other media that there is fear of a recession, as the recent news of home loan lending significantly impacted the stock market. You may ask yourself, is it safe to invest at this point in time, or is it just a lost cause.
The first thing you must remember before investing, is that an all out recession is not necessarily going to occur. With the Federal Reserve creating a stimulus package at the moment, in combination with interest rate cuts, it could be that the recessions impact is not as hard hitting as previously thought.
However it may still not be a wise investment move to invest in shares and stock. If there is a recession, no matter the impact of it, a clear length of a recession will be unknown and you may end up losing much of your initial investment. It is best to stick with something with low risk and that is relatively secure, so you are sure that you will be making money on your investment in the long run.
However, if you are investing in the long term, these should not be concerns of yours. You will likely be looking for high returns and will invest in a reputable company or fund that has a solid return.
