Cool or Lame: Get Your Passport for Canada? {Gadling}

Aug 12th 2006 3:50AM You think its hard coming to Canada? geez. 5 hour border wait times, "random searches" where they actually took the back and front seats out of my car, yelled at me and my fiancee for not having our birth certificates with us, just for a 2 day vacation to Portland Maine. The American Border Patrol treated us like crap and made us sit in the office for over an hour while waiting for them to "clear our vehicle". This was my first and ONLY venture to the United States. And then, once we get to Portland, everybody is rude and acted like we didnt have a reservation when I know we did for the hotel. The hotel and the border patrol ruined our vacation. We left after only one night in the US. It's a terrible place and I feel sorry for people who live there. And as for loikll's comment about letting Islamic terrorists through while they were dicking around with you, screw you.
