For one, I have found CBSA Officers do their job and I don't begrudge them for it. I have been to secondary once in my life and got out without incident.

I've also been to US secondary a few times without incident and have had more problems with EU Customs/Immigration than Canada. So what? Every seasoned traveller has had a little trouble with Customs/Immigrations at least once in their travels.
