I've told the U.S. border patrol much worse things. I've had problems with both the U.S. and the Canadian side. It really just depends on the offer you get. But the worst I've been treated was on the U.S. side one Christmas morning a while back. I was the only white guy pulled over. There was an officer loudly and abusively questioning two Asian men. He was asking them why they closed their restaurant down for the day. The two men didn't speak much English, if any. So, of course, they weren't understanding the officer. The officer then yelled at them, "How many pounds of rice do you cook in a day." I couldn't help myself. I got up and walked over to the counter and said, "I don't know how long you've been working here, but Canadians use the metric system." I was there for about 5 hours, and then left on parole. I had to meet with an immigration overlord to verify my citizenship. I'm a dual citizen, but they don't like that very much. I was questioned by Canadian immigration at the Montreal airport. They asked what my reason for coming to Canada was. I told him that "I was here for the poutine." That didn't go well either, but at least I didn't leave on parole. But all that said, are Canadians really coming down to the States to protest Trump? If so, thank you!
