I generally nod and move on when dealing with immigration of any country, but if this happened to me I would stand my ground and complain to a supervisor.
No resident or visitor should be yelled at under any circumstances, and no Canadian Citizen should be intimidated by restricting their ability to reside or visit in their own country.
Freedom of mobility is clearly stated in the charter:
6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.
