We complied, then she asked my wife not to stand behind the stroller so she could see her, then asked her to move again to my left as she couldn't see her completely, halfway between asking me about what we were declaring. Rude too.

Asked the usual questions; what did you buy, any alcohol and tobacco, which I answered, and she asked again a few minutes later (yes, I know why this happens). Also asked if we had any food, to which I replied none, and then she asked again nothing for the baby, to which I replied no, we threw it out on the plane (we do this now all the time since some CBSA folks get excited about anything, regardless of the fact that we primarily enter from the US). The food thing is getting to be like Australia.

We'll be avoiding that agent next time if I see her. It ranked up there with some of the morons I've gotten at the US Border from time to time.

It's too bad you really can't comment on these folks behaviour. I'm much to paranoid and generally averse to latex to launch any sort of formal complaint.
