And just HOW does CBSA purport to determine I am a criminal by asking what my job is? By harrassing me about how long I have been away and what I am bringing back when it is WRITTEN ON THE FORM? By questioning other posters on this thread in the way they have? By being rude? By being aggressive?

I am a Canadian citizen. Once that is proven, I have the right of admission to Canada. If someone wants to arrest me in Canada, that is a separate issue.

The US ABSOLUTELY has the right to ask way more detailed questions of you entering their country, as you have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to enter their country.

Unless we have way more people who are criminals trying to enter Canada on Canadian passports than entering the US on American passports or EU on EU passports, there is no reason that the level of questioning should be so much higher by CBSA than EU/US who look at the passport of their own citizens and off you go.

Your comparison of yourself, a non-citizen, entering a foreign country to me, a citizen, entering my own country is like comparing apples and motor oil. No relation, not even both food.
