Is it any wonder why I gave up a life of crime?
To CDNBear. I think you are on to something. Maybe my poor experience at the Canadian side of the bridge was in conjunction to the Kott arrest. Due to the proximity of the incident the guards falsely thought I was in cahoots with her !
I have been going over and over the incident to reason it away.
I have now concluded that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the fact I had severe pain from my 2 herniated discs in my lower back from having to sit in my truck 4 hours to get to the other bridge. I must have looked a wreck. I was glad to get home to my pain medication. I should not have driven anywhere that day in my condition. I will be glad to get the surgery for the repairs.

Maybe, or maybe they just had it in their minds.
They are human, humans are prone to having bad days, and yes, gawd forbid, bringing personal drama to work.
It happens. Is it a good excuse to be disrespectful to you? Absolutely not. As the vanguards of Canadian entrances, they have a duty to be respectful and put on a face that paints Canadians like we would like to see ourselves.
I know how you feel, I have a disc going sideways myself.
hello there those who cros the border from usa to canada on sept 23 of 2010 i was in canada i have visited this grate country for the last 9 years and my son cam to visit us and he has a pas port and they would not let him cross so we went to the us side and then came back in to go to canada they would not let me go back in to the canada side the gard wanted a coppie of my deed a coppie of a gas bill and phone bill and a water bill and i have my pas port a pas port is what it means and the wanted a rap sheet i had no clothing no med and am disable they can deside if they want to let you in even if you have a pas port i dont know what is going on with this country the law is that we can stay in eather country 6 mo\ and i did not get to talk to a superviser and that is the law if you think your not being treated fair you are alowed to talk to a supervisor
There's not much you can do unfortunately beyond ask for his name and ID number, and report him to the appropriate department once you get home. if enough people did that, maybe they'd get some remedial training, we'd hope.
To DDRob7676.
You know I have not been traveling across the borber since the incident on August 29, 2010. I have concluded that it does not matter what the laws are at the bridge on the Canadian side. They will do what they like with you which now scares me to death. I am law abiding and try to do everything as it should be done. I had done my reserach on the CANADIAN goverment web site to see if I was OK before I traveled. I was hassled for no good reason. The only reason I can find is, the law does not matter, they will do as they like. My letters to the government fell on deaf ears. I have family in the US, but I am so afraid of them at the borders, I will not travel again. I just don't want the hassle. I am not off colour. I am the same colour. I have made Canada my home for over 35 years now, and my fellow Canadians at the border made me a piece of dirt. I had never had a bad time on the US side of the bridge. Figure that out !I guess I should be glad that the only thing they did was not let me come back to my home ,my work and my family. They all wear gun and It could have been worse. They could have shot me dead, and think of the reason later ! This is what really scares me. I should not think of this, it makes me puke.

Border guards are just like you and me and have the same fears as you or me so if you are nervous and freaked out when approached they will use their instincts and do what they are trained to do. Once upon a time they had to hold back their instincts but now that has been cut loose.
They haven't got all day to piss around with a nervous nilly who doesn't have all their travel details or receipts at hand and neither does the person behind you in line desrve to wait for an unprepared nervous nilly.
Get some Ativan from your Dr. and get high before you go if that is what it takes.
