From the Globe and Mail:
Vancouver billionaire Jim Pattison has shelved a potential $100-million investment in a Niagara Falls entertainment site until he can assess the progress and impact of new U.S. rules requiring all cross-border travellers to carry passports starting in January, 2008.
The threat to U.S. travellers’ ability to move back and forth across the border is “absolutely the No. 1 important issue we have to deal with in the country today,” Mr. Pattison said yesterday in Niagara Falls, Ont., at the opening of his Great Wolf Lodge, a $130-million hotel and water park complex.
That is why, he said, Jim Pattison Group has not given a green light to a proposed aquarium, whose construction had earlier been projected.
