@CathyCorlleone My truck was clean and organized. At least it was until they searched it. I think they like to hit people on their first visit. Also a truck is a tempting target. I mean, i could have been hauling ICBMs in there. ;-)
Glad they're keeping such a watch and that they let you back in on the way home, lol. I have a paranoia about that bc my parents are hippy and they gave me a middle name that sounds possibly Muslim which really sucks post 911. I love colab vids! Do you have any meat? That sounds like a pick-up line LOLOL.
@kekikamiller Well, I've never had anyone try shoot me a pick up line but I would find it highly amusing and flattering to given a line by a meat lover or vegan. ;-D
haha great vid..saying canadianstudmuffin will get ya in trouble.there just making crossing borders difficult so they can just open the borders one day and humans will think there doing it for the people.what a crock.
@meyiyiyi55 I want to go to Canada...see people, spend money, enjoy myself. Canadians want to do the same thing. Someday I hope we can enjoy each others company without having to be treated like criminals.
Holy COW! They probably thought you were going to be making some studly videos! This was a very funny video! Next time leave your disguises at home, and don't mention the muffin! LOLOLOL!!!
Wow, I know your frustrations well. I will be crossing that exact border on the 24th, but going into USA and out of Canada. I'm hoping they will be kinder. Thanks for the few tips you gave. I will now leave my wig at home, not mention Youtube, have the phone number for my hotel, and try to smile as they tear my vehicle apart. But prey tell.....what do I do about the pot ? LOL
@sandiecoop1 The Cornwall crossing is less traveled. The U.S.A. guards were nice to Canadian couple but short with me. I think they put a flag on me at Buffalo for some reason. I guess they can fathom an American wanting to travel and visit in Canada for two days. Pot? No problem. Wait until you get in the State to get some. About a easy to get as a can of coffee. (that's what I hear as I do not partake.)
I haven't been to Canada in years, just because of the changes at the border. It's a total pain to get in, and in my experience, even worse to come back through to the USA. Guard: "Why are you entering the United States?" Me: "Um...because I live here?" Guard: "Go to lane 14!" :D
Hiya yep i can imagine well i got one who gets stopped everywhere , he has one of those faces except he cant keep his cool as well as you so maybe i might get in but i can see him sitting in a jail somewhere for cheeking the police ha ha , its all good have a better time while hes sulking , have a great week there and love the editing he he all the best too you all XD Cathy
ha ha ha that was not the wisest of answers as you figured LOL Canadian stud muffin makes videos on youtube , oh hell not the wig , well you were very kind too put them on youtube in such a lovely way thats what id do he he , love it always the dry humour wishing you and yours a great week ahead id love too see Canada someday myself , i wont mention youtube ha or wigs xxxxxxxxxs Cathy
@Irishtankgod I was slightly peeved at the time and glad I had a few weeks to settle before making the video. It might have had a different angle. I can recomment Canada as a place to visit. Thank you for taking the time to watch and write. I really appreciate that.
What an ordeal! Loved how you kept saying, "you know what YouTube is right?". Great editing here btw, like when you pass the business card to the guard. And lastly, glad you didn't let this experience taint your vision of Canada!
@KeriCDN Thank you Keri for watching. It means a lot that you did. My vision of Canada has always been and will be one of admiration and love. I got treated the same (1000 questions, suspicions, and truck ransacked) by both CN and USA guards. I understand the need for these things but a well documented traveler being treated with contempt and attitude is not good for either country. I thought of you while driving thru Toronto. Hey, I was a Canadian Explore for 2 days!
@TheDarksEmpyrean I wanted to also tell the story of my crossing back into the USA. The experience was very similar. I was pulled aside, trunk inspected and asked a bunch of questions over and over. One guard had an attitude that was totally unnecessary. They almost try to upset you and pick a fight. Very poor ambassadors for the country.
I don't think you would have that much trouble coming into Bangkok. It's the leaving thats the hard part. They make sure your not trying to sneak any little Thai people out in your bags...lol We use to go to B.C. alot when I was a kid. My parents like going to Whistler. But thats Westcoast. Love your videos and your charactors alot! Your Awesome!
humm.. let me put this together.. u, a wig and a stud makin vids and puttin them online.. yeah, they probably thought u were talkin bout gay porn vids..lol
Oh dear, it looks like you have been hassled at that border. LOL Can't believe people don't know who Canadianstudmuffin is. They've been living under a rock. Glad you got all that straightened out lol! Thumbs up Gary!
Canadian customs has gone overboard since they were accused of being too lenient in the past and they really seem to be cracking down on Photograghers and Video makers. Hopefully I won't have as much trouble when I take the train down to the States this weekend, but then I didn't have that much luck when I came to Canada from Korea.
Glad I got to see this...this is hilarious....I just got to go to Canada myself at the same time as you!
