I have never had any hard questioning when crossing into Canada, but once when crossing back into the US a customs agent asked me several questions about where we got our kayaks, apparently suspecting that we bought them in Canada. This was despite the fact that the Minnesota registration stickers were prominently displayed on the bows of the kayaks! He never asked to see proof of ownership, however. Isn't it ironic and somehow symptomatic that not so very long after the European Union made crossing international borders easier the Bush administration is making it harder?
