I've usually been fine crossing into the US via Canada as a Canadian, save for some cursory searches. However I don't stand out visibly or audibly. On my second last trip through, I didn't have a precise address that I was staying at on the other side of the country for a road trip, so I was taken aside. While waiting, I talked to a Canadian-German fella who had been molested for upwards of 4 hours on the basis of validating that he wasn't intending to work in the U.S. Apparently they handed him a brochure that effectively said they can do anything they want with his data and so on upon that suspicion. Likewise, my gf made what I thought was a joke that at least we weren't brown or something. At least, I thought it was a joke until I looked at the line up behind us.
