Canadian customs treats no one worse than returning Canadians. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had no hassles from a Canadian custom agent returning home.
I get shocked disbelief from my foreign friends visitng or immigrating to Canada - they tell me no one is nicer than the immigration folks here. I guess the agents specifically hold their anger for Canadians (and according to this thread, Americans).
