Canadian Humour.

Very good (especially the Toronto Mapleleafs part)

It's funny because it's true.

[Oldhiker]

good ones, eh!

I appreciate my trips to Canada except the US/Canadian border expereince.

[Biathlonman]

It is brilliant, but the crime in Toronto isn't near as bad the list suggests, thankfully. You can still walk just about anywhere here, and at night too. So come on up, my American friends.

Other insights are so true you have to be a Canadian to get them.

Every experience I've had at the Canadian border has ended the same way. It's so ironic that you have to laugh.

Going to Canada: (where we're NOT citizens)
Canadian border guard peeks head inside window. "Where you going, eh?" We say "Vacation to the falls/Toronto/where ever we're headed at the moment"
"Alright, have a good time, eh?" while looking quickly at our I.D.

Coming back to U.S.: (where we ARE citizens)
I won't take time to type it. Just go watch a Dirty Harry movie. Yes officer, you caught me. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe' and Niagara Falls on a training mission. The Mighty Canadians are planning to sweep down from the Frozen North and subjugate us all. I am their willing servant. They promised to let me stay south of the Arctic Circle. I am teaching them how to not say "Eh" at the end of every sentence, eh. Damn. Busted again.

Do you Canadians get the reverse? Hassled going back to Canada?

the difference is, your border guards are part of national security.

Our border guards work for the tax man. They don't give a hoot who comes it, as long as they pay their taxes and duties.

In my case I'm "coming home" no matter which way I'm going, since I'm a dual citizen. I've encountered jerks and turkeys both ways but have also had people who credit their national border services both ways.

Just like any administrative procedure, have your receipts ready and hand them the correct passport.

:ootd:

[Lallans]

Very good stuff about the Territories, but I didn't realise there were any Old Hippies up north...
