    I'm in Toronto right now, and last night I got here via the Peace Bridge at 5PM eastern time.

    The road was blocked on the canada-bound side, by US CBP (part of DHS, who likes TMDA), hassling everyone about why theyre going to canada.

    They even hassled me about why im going to the duty free shop.

    Is it just me, or is this retarded? Yeah, lets bust those illegal immigrants and drugzzz before they LEAVE the country. Would it not make more sense to be on the OTHER SIDE of the road? and catch the illegal immigrants and drugzzz when they ENTER the country?

    Maybe they could set up such a checkpoint at the MEXICAN BORDER if they want to bust northbound smuggling...

    and I really think that if someone is smuggling crap into Canada......it's canada's money to make off it. And if that crap was smuggled into the US, then the US should have made their money off it....before it got alllll the way through.....


    And if I'm not supposed to go to the duty free shop, why is it there and why does it have truck parking?

    Why do they always do this crap in rush hour?

    Why wasn't there a similar checkpoint on the US bound side?

    CBP is even more looney tooney than most trucking companies!

    They stopped me in Portal ND to search the load and check my paperwork out.

    It was after I stopped at the duty free shop to get canadian money.

    dhs is nothing but a way for the govt to cover up its failure to prevent 9/11, just look at the idiots they have working the airport check points! its not enough that the morons at the border patrol cant even secure the border with mexico, but its easier for them to harass u.s. citizens, and those who came here legally, then to get after the scumbags who try to smuggle drugs into the country.

    ALso notice the fact that they harrassed me LEAVING the country. What the hell am i going to do to them when I leave? blow up the peace bridge? Omg! They werent doing anything special for people coming IN. wtf?

    i love the signs they have at the peace bridge that say that if you have more than 10,000 in cash with you that you have to declare it. hahaha.

    Why would you get canadian money at the duty free shop? Canadian money is only worth a penny less, they rip you off. I'd rather just spend american money up there.

    I deliver RV's and have to wash them. Some of the wash facilities are not manned and are coin washes. They do not take american money.

    LOL thats a good reason.

    You know what i thought was odd, was I was hungry and stuck an american quarter in a mechanical candy machine..and it took it. I suspect its because they go by weight and our quarters weigh more than canadian quarters...

    The Illegals will get busted and deported; and you Mr. citizen, will get a tip of the hat....

    I do not want further delays crossing back into my country.

    They even opened the hood and looked over the motor the last time.
