Even _I_ dread going to Canada because the immigration officers are such total pricks. You'd think it's a crime to smile in Canada when you go in there. Yet on my first visit to New York, which I made in March and was worried that I'd get berated by some immigration dude, I found the entire immigration area to be just a welcome-to-New-York experience. Actually, I find the US friendlier than Canada even beyond customs. Anyway, sorry you had such a shit introduction to Canada. Back in '86 I was sharing a room with a nutbar Belgian-Canadian woman who always had her customs-officer cop-wannabe idiot jerkoff boyfriend over. What a tool. Huge insecurity complex and an equally oversized mustache to match (all the cop wannabes have them). I think he's about the average mentality and general sociopath disposition of most of his douchebag brethren. But that experience of yours really takes the cake. You should have gone to the real cops and lodged a complaint. And I know that prison hostel. I actually was schnogging a bit up there with a German girl I met there up near the execution room with the hanging rope. Booya! Oh! Canada! Took the edge off the customs experience, at least!
