Neighbours recently flew into YVR (Vancouver) from Switzerland. They went home for a funeral. Before making the drive back to the mountain they needed a quick trip across the US border for a reason unknown to me. As they had already cleared customs at YVR, they decided that they would off load all their luggage and only one would cross for the short trip. The husband stayed behind at a coffee shop on the Canadian side for what he thought was going to be a short trip by his wife. They had nothing in the car.
Crossing the US border was a breeze. No lineup at all. Zip, nada. Friendly.

The crossing back into Canada was a nightmare. Not sure what passport she used but she has both Swiss and Cdn.
The car was searched and she was questioned extensively for a long time. She felt it was because they had too much time on their hands. You be the judge of that. I did not press further for details as when he comes back from a trip home his english suffers a bit on his return. He was at the coffee shop waiting for a long time. They are left leaning, compliant folk who trust the Government, have every shot known to man but are not judgemental and I get along with them. He had a mild neurological event in the foyer of our home a few years back. Looks much older than his age since the shots. No can’t be the shots, never.

Have other Canadians experienced the same hostile treatment since tariff-gate?

As an aside. I flew the Cdn Flag in support of the Truckers during their campaign and got negative comments from people.
Now the “elbows up” Liberal supporters fly their Cdn flags as if there was nothing to it. They forgot about the connection to the “evil” truckers. LOL. To be honest most here supported the Truckers.

Ha! After the US election I flew the US flag but wisely took it down before I had my windows broken and my place vandalized.
Also, GMG asked that I take it down as an anti-US friend was coming over. This country is so divided and the hatred is simmering under the surface. Even so called Conservatives are anti-US, anti Trump and I live in a wild-west conservative area. Cattle ranching, recreation and mining. I wonder if Trump will have refugee status for White Common Sense Cdns who want an exit.
Then Idaho here we come.
