An interesting passport-related issue is that Mexican tourists, who seem to make up a not inconsiderable portion of visiting cruise ship passengers, will now require visas to get off the boat when it docks in Canada. The concern seems to be that they will in excessive numbers seek political asylum here, thus straining the resources of border security officials. My impression is that they are far more interested in taking a walk around town and sampling Canadian cuisine available on the shelves at Safeway.
