I've gotten searched every single time I've went to Canada. The last time they searched my car, stripped searched me, threw all my stuff on the ground, and after finding nothing told me to "pick up my garbage." The bright side is, I was only held for 5 hours that time, but I did have a gun pointed at me. The first time was 9 hours, so maybe next time it will only be 3 hours. Some people are just pathetic humans who get off on being above anyone else. /I never had anything illegal any of those times and tried to be very respectful. I worked with law enforcement for many years, and know the type of people that they can deal with. Also, everyone involved was white, so at least there wasn't racism...? I don't know, it's all dumb. None of my complaints went anywhere, and last time I called they said I "had nothing on file anywhere."

Going to Canada or coming back from Canada? I’ve never experienced that either way across the Vancouver area border crossings.

  Going to Canada. I can't remember the exact locations, but the two that gave me the most headaches were the one in northern Minnesota and the one in Montana. The one in North Dakota did look through all my stuff, opened bags, but let me be on my way in an hour or so. That was my best experience so far. Every time I went from Canada to America, they looked in my trunk, moved some stuff around back there, and said I could leave. I still haven't been given any reasons why that happens to me, but my name must be somewhere important. I just learned to get used to video chatting instead of seeing relatives up there. Much less of a headache.
