I Have Something to Say

Just came back from my trip to Philly... When I crossed the border to the USA from Canadian land, the officers were so rude and cold... Not even a 'hello'.. They ask you some stupid questions... Like wth??? They interrogate you like you're a sort of dangerous person...

Now that I came back to my precious Canada,I went through the Canadian borders and guess what.. The officers had a smile, even joked and were chill. Three questions asked and they let me go...

That my friends, is why I LOVE MY CANADIANS SO MUCH! They are nice people!!! Ughhhh!!! I visit the US because of its history and lands but the people there... >_< I don't know... I'm used to nice people greeting you, giving you a warm smile, greeting you in the streets, serving you with respect.. Canada is a beautiful country.

On a serious note

Canada Population 36.29 million (2016)

U.S. population 325.7 million (2017)

That gotta speak for something 🤔 if I'm correct

@HappyFlower it's harder to coexist and be friendly when a population is bigger maybe

@bijouxbroussard I wish I was ... I think the reaction of the government and others have done more harm to the soul than 9/11 ever did

Some places out here (U.S.) are like that too, though. I've been to cities where I was taken aback by the friendliness. It just depends on where you go.

So you judge an entire country based on the border and immigration officers you had to deal with?

So tolerant.

@Booyeah Not only on that.. 😜 I travel a lot to the US.. Well since I was a child because it's our neighbour, and most people have kind of the same attitude! I won't deny the fact that I have met wonderful people, but they are so HARD to find. And my comment is generalised... I know there are exceptions.. I know!

@HappyFlower I have crossed borders a few times. I must look like a terrorist with curls. I have been grilled by a border guard younger than my son. I have had a friend's car searched more than once. Perhaps next time, I may be strip searched. Canadian border officials are often nicer and faster than the American ones. And when people hear I am Canadian while in the US, I am always greeted and treated well. Truth.
