+1. Why i'd go through the foreigners line and have to provide a bunch of lawyers papers saying i'm allowed to travel without mum and dad, as well as having to explain my reasons for travel, on top of having to wait in the longer line, when I can now just go through the EU line and be basically waved through, I've no clue.

Its been officially confirmed by FL that CBSA do not require a minor's consent document. Although that's nothing to do with the EU.
I'm not having a go or making "immature" comments, for those who may choose to accuse me of such; i'm just contradicting what I know with what Steve_ says.

Re: Help! Which Passport to use?
Well, my experience contradicts yours then, obviously it depends on the airport but certainly at LHR T5 there always seems to be a pretty short line for non-EU passport holders, at least imx. I remember going through Manchester some years ago and I remember talking to an English woman who lived in White Rock and she said exactly that, she always uses her Canadian passport because the line is shorter.
I suppose now with ePassports it might be quicker using that line, this assumes you've got one.
