I’ve crossed the border into and out of Canada an uncountable number of times- ( 2-3 times a week for 15 years) one might say I’m an old pro. There are a few things that the driver and passengers should never do and a few things you should always do. We do not have, nor will we have a dog until we are done traveling. We, my wife & I, love dogs but like it or not, it is a hassle sometimes to get your dog into and out of the country. Did you and your passenger remove your hats and sunglasses? Did you attempt to make small talk? Were you overtly friendly? Any political stickers on your vehicle? When they began searching your vehicle did you protest or ask questions? A couple years ago I advised my brother-in-law about how to behave when crossing. He saw no reason to remove his hat, and he did not curb his attitude. He talked loud, and made light of the, what he thought, were stupid questions. He was obviously pulled in, then instead of buttoning up, he kept asking questions of the inspectors. Another CBSA agent led him off to the little white room. I witnessed this from afar and kept thinking, John- shut up! Thankfully they surmised he was harmlessly ignorant and preformed only a cursory inspection. With todays atmosphere they may have strip searched him and his vehicle. I have many friends in Canada and have accepted their sympathies and condolences. We have reservations for a ferry ride to Newfoundland this summer. Hopefully the chaos that Orange idiot has incited simmers down and the border crossings return to normal. Peace out!
