Canadian Citizens
Canadian citizens as well as landed immigrants in Canada who are (a) British subjects, (B) citizens of a Commonwealth country or (c) citizens of Ireland do not need to obtain a visa in advance in order to apply for admission to the United States. For individuals falling under these same categories, a passport is not required to enter the U.S. except after a visit outside the Western Hemisphere. The only exceptions to the general visa waiver policy are for those individuals entering the U.S. as treaty traders or investors, as the fiancé of a U.S. citizen or as immigrants. All travelers should be prepared to present documentary evidence of identity, citizenship, and (if applicable) resident status in Canada.

Does it mean that the VISa thing is permanently off or just postponed.

Or maybe the steps listed in the 2nd article will be enough to take care of any security concerns the INS has.
