I agree 100% - I got the CANPASS since I was tired of explaining to customs why I was coming home, where I had been, what colour my socks were

and I invariably got into the line where (a) no one had their forms filled out or (b) the officer wanted to have a friendly chat with all to see about their wives, husbandsm etc... twice I was the last person out of the customs hall ... that is when I got the CANPASS.
