I’ve crossed the border countless times. On the whole, agents on both sides are humourless. Not surprising, given Trump’s aggressive distaste for all things Canadian, that the “elbows up” stupidity has spread from low information Canadian voters to low information Canadian border agents. Justified or not, the antagonism eventual will get results.
Depending on where you cross, border agents know they get a good number of American travellers who are stunned to find out that when in a different country, American laws no longer apply. Go figure. 🤣
BTW, for most of you who rarely cross by land, you don’t interact with the border agents from the country you are LEAVING unless you make a point of stopping at their offices and going in. When I leave the US at Port Huron it is essentially an interstate hwy that leads onto a bridge. At the far side the bridge is Canada Customs. It’s the same in reverse.
