Entering Canada with green Card.

Don Cameron, former Canadian Consul in Seattle points out that I goofed when
I told a questioner that he needed his home country passport to enter Canada
when he had a US Resident Alien (Green) Card.  He or she does not as
follows.
I consider Don the real Dean of Immigration people in Vancouver and with
over 30,000 people reading this (or at least receiving it) he was the only
one to point out my error.
His contact information is below if you need the services of a really top
notch immigration person.

David,
Green Card holders entering Canada from the U.S. (or from St. Pierre and
Miquelon) are exempt from the requirement to have passports.
Best regards,
Don
