This may be part of the "enhanced security questioning" all airlines are required to do to fly to North America to catch terrorists, it's usually more common with departures to the US. Yes, that involves asking small-talk like what you were visiting Europe for, how long you stayed, where are you going, where do you live, etc.
It's annoying as all hell.
There's also the new ETA requirement that came out too, for visitors to Canada, might be related to that.
