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).
I think US and Canadian customs have an unwritten rule to treat their own and each other's citizens in the worst possible way. Apparently, as soon as we cross the border, they think we plan to engage in all sorts of illegal activity that we wouldn't do at home. I always find it necessary to go to Canada to use illegal narcotics; I can't find illegal narcotics anywhere in Los Angeles.
