I tried to get across and the border guard asked me about AriveCan. I told him I couldn't make it work and why. He get a strange look in his face and said "Who could possibly not have a working email ?". He denied my entry and sent me back to the U.S.

In the time it took you to post here you could have a half a dozen free email accounts.

If you choose not to go, that’s your decision but please don’t invent silly excuses for it.

I understand your position. I just wanted to see if I could drive across the border for no good reason on a whim. I found out that you can't.

Like you said my decision.

As for a dozen email address I'm not going to do that. I already have 2. That's plenty. One that worked would be good but, I'm not going to keep making new ones every time some computer bug pops up.

I also only have one Credit Card and I pay the balance off every month.

I have one Charge Card and it comes out of my check book so when I'm forced to use it to buy gas I write the amount and place of purchase in the check register so I know how much I'm spending . (More people should do that)

I've been banking that that same small town bank for 48 years. (My mom started me a savings account there when I was 10 years old, I still have the same account )

I have one insurance company and I have all my insurance though them.

I've been living on the same house for over 30 years.

The point I'm trying to make is that I like to keep things simple. I'm not going to open another email. After the Centurylink one quit working everyone else that is important accepted by gmail address accept for the government of Canada.

I really don't need to go to Canada anyway if I did then I would have to figure something out.

If try again it won't be until next summer when I get way up that way again. (It's a 6 hour drive for me. I haven't been that far from home since the eclipse of the sun in Nebraska a few years go.) I don't get more then 100 miles from home very often.
