Add to that the fact that it is a bit of a hassle- I know I had previously let mine lapse. I may not now; now that you need one for the States. But that is only very recent.

Canadian Passports are only good for 5 years? OUCH! Same cost here and they're good for 15 years.
I will be getting my first passport this year at age 38. I've never needed one until now as all of my travles have been within North America.
Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to use it to go overseas.
