My experiences exactly. 99% of the time when entering a foreign country I hardly ever get asked even a single question. My last visit to GVA in March I presented my passport to the officer and he didn't even open it, he noticed it was a CDN passport and waved me through. Almost all of my experiences with the US folks are very pleasant.

And then there is the return to Canada, where without fail returning Canadians are meant to feel as criminals and are interrogated with ridiculous questions. The vast majority of my trips outside of Canada I do not bring anything back and have nothing to declare but have learned that it is better to lie and put some sort of a value in the box on the form because I am tired of not being believed by the idiot behind the desk. I was sent to a secondary about 2 years ago because of this, "Who goe's to England and doesn't buy anything?". Now I just reply I bought a couple of shirts which seems to keep them happy.

I cross enough that I know who to look for here in Calgary, there are 2 gentleman who are always professional, sometimes even pleasant who I keep an eye out for.
