I hope we keep this thread in perspective.... (maybe kill it). I've been
going back and forth to Canada for over thirty years and love every minute
that I'm in Canada. Fantastic country and people. No better neighbors
ANYWHERE!

I've never been stopped or hasseled by the Canadian side but have on three
occasions coming back to the U.S. Two times they emptied my V.W. of all its
contents and then just left it on the ground in a big mess. No smiles, no
thank you's,.. nothin. Just jerks plain and simple. I believe what we have
here on both sides of the border is a certain kind of "personality" who is
attracted to this kind of authority position. They get to carry a gun and
use their power on people. This is what I call "wantabe cops" who otherwise
can't get on a large professional law enforcement department. All we can do
is keep our mouths shut and move on. I sure plan to keep going north to
Canada and won't allow some bozo's to ruin my life.
