Gary Doer on Fort Frances Border Woes

It appears the message hasn't been lost on Canadian officials as they try to ease problems American hunters and fishermen have encountered heading into Northern Ontario.  Our Ambassador to the U-S, Gary Doer says one of the big issues is Americans entering on previous drinking and driving convictions.  Doer says we also have to get the message out that the Americans can also apply to have those convictions forgiven after a period of time.  The Northern Ontario tourism industry says the problem has meant thousands of dollars worth of business being lost.
