Damn Canadian Terrorists Trying to Choke our Chicken.

[Jenne]

The worst treatment I ever got was by a Canadian border checkpoint dude.  It was because my husband's passport had his Afghan and Pakistan stamps in it when we were stopped (and we were in a rented car going through BC back down to WA).  Luckily he saw the kids were dead asleep in the back or he probably would've had us pull over for a nice thorough trunk check.  Good thing, too, because as soon as he gave my husband the stink eye over his visits overseas, I took over answering the questions and totally lied about the fact we had icewine in the trunk.  Whoopsie.

Wait, so you were at the bordering entering the USA, or entering Canada?

Well, it's weird.  We were on a ferry to get to Canada (one of those you can put the car on it), and then coming back into Canada from some point on our way down.  It's that weird trek through the west side after Victoria.  I don't remember exactly the route, unfortunately.  It was like 4-5 years ago.

Oddly enough, I've been through the Mexican border a lot, and never got pulled aside.  Ever.  *knocks on head*

Er... I have no idea where that is.

  I'll ask the husbandtypeunit.  He might remember where it was we met with that border check.

It's always the US Border Patrol that stops you. The Canadian guys could give a fuck.

That's what it seemed like to me too.

The USA banned Kinder Surprise Eggs??? How did I miss this?

No we were coming into the Canadian border, I believe, by car.  I'll have to ask the old man where we were.  Don't think it was the US customs but rather the Canadian.  But maybe we were leaving Canuckistan and coming back.  I'm too old and my brain is Swiss cheese!

Yeah, but we were travelling east.  Because if you've ever crossed over from Victoria, you know there's this jog--I'm telling you, I'm disremembering how we went because we left and came 2 different ways but ended up in Seattle.    I'm better with a map, usually, than this.  But I'm having a brainfart.

And you lost me. 

Ah well, not important.

No, I read it the same way and avoided the thread figuring NSFW.
