It's also a big draw because while Walmart has had stores in Canada for a long while, there aren't any Targets in the whole country. They bought out a Canadian chain called Zellers recently and will be expanding soon, but as of now going to Target is something Canadians can't do in Canada.

I handed my passport to them(us border) they glanced at it and handed it back. Why would the us stamp a us passport?

It's a U.S.A. thing.
The Canadians didn't even ask to see anything.
Just the usual questions.
Do you have any fire arms?
Your reason for travailing to our country?
Business, tourism?

Of course, it also depends on which part of Canada and which part of the US you're comparing.

Minnesota isn't that much different than much of Canada in many respects, but I've met Canadian transplants down in Georgia who are shocked at the cultural differences to be found between Canada and a more conservative bible belt state.

Minnesotan / Upper Midwestern transplants would also be culture shocked by moving to Georgia. I visited Georgia and other Southern states last month, and yes, it was pretty shocking.

Don't single them out. Mutants are people, too.

I've heard that about Georgia, and the other states closeby. It's like it's own country down there.
