So you guys all find the Canadian border personnel to be worse than their American counterparts? I always felt the opposite.
That is my experience too. I have only crossed on land on a bike to and from Canada once. I flew to Canada and then flew home on my Maritimes trip, no border crossing on that trip. The trip I am planning for this year will have two crossings on ferries with a bike.
The trip with the land crossing, I took a photo of my bike with the border station in the background. The USA border people acted like I was a Russian spy trying to steal nuclear weapon secrets or something. The trip back, also took a photo on the Canadian side, they had no objection.
I have often camped near the border in Northern Minnesota, this photo was taken in Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Superior National Forest, border marker. No border officials for miles around.
