The Canadian Border Is Open: Here's What It's Like To Cross Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

I desperately wanted to name the episode "We don't care about that crap". You'll have to listen to figure out why!

The Canadian border opened up recently and we drove up to visit family. It was over 40 hours of total driving. We learned a bunch about the new process for crossing the border (spoiler alert: it's complicated). We also snuck across a provincial border without really knowing we were doing that.

Richard Kerr and I are discussing all of the details.

We're also talking $27 airport beers and why Richard disagrees with some conventional wisdom on credit card perks.
