(shaking head sadly) When I first started to realize I may want to live in Canada I was making many trips from Philly to North Hatley (near Sherbrooke)with a hatchback full of crap I thought I needed. On one trip back up (still without a student or work visa) I decided to try and go across at a smaller crossing to avoid waiting in line. I had a car full of dirty laundry and other things one has after a trip. The gung ho border guy (young and obviously new and nervous) basically tore my car apart looking for god knows what. He pulled out a camera and asked me what it was. I replied "camera". Then he asked me what it was for. I replied "for taking pictures". He looked disgusted at my lack of co-operation. He then started to go through the pockets of my pants in my suitcase. When he thrust his official border hand into my bag of pre-worn underwear I stared laughing. I was then taken inside for questioning with my travel companion, an unemployed Quebecois. In the end, he let us continue up, but I never went to a small crossing again. I am so proud of my countrymen. (shaking head sadly)

You are aware of this, yes? Great sstories, however, you seem to have a border personality complex today. You are aware of this, yes?
