The AOPA Canada briefing summary says a Radiotelephone Operator's
permit is required for flight into Canada. I did some checking at the
FCC website and it appears that the cost for this piece of paper is
$100. Or am I looking at the wrong piece of paper. Flying is
admittedly expensive, but this seems too much for what appears to be a
pretty trivial document.

you want a restricted radiotelephone license

you can get one online at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls , the cost is $50 iirc
for processing, no test required, and is good for life.
