I won't spend money in Canada anymore. Thanks to CANADIAN border guards.
Yeah, they can be just as bad as the paranoid American border guards who give me a hard time everytime I go to the US.....but I don't let them stop me from visiting. Once I'm in the US I always have a good time, be it for business or pleasure.

I often have to arrange for American staff to come up to Canada and you would be amazed at the number of times I have to remind them to have valid id on hand because they didn't think Canada was really a different country than the US. I'm NOT kidding.
