so what... why? Why won't they let you through? Or do we not wanna know?
I got thrown off the train at Niagra once going to the states because I didn't "Have enough money on me." I had like $700 in my bank account but I sure as fuck wasnt' goign to carry it with me, and they didn't figure $5 was good enough.. I was like "Do you want me to go withdraw some money?" But they wouldn't allow me anyways.. they said that "If you get stuck in the country, you need $20". I was like WTF, if I'm stuck in the country, twenty fucking dollars is NOT going to get me out of a scrape. Heh.

That is fucked up. I've been lucky passing customs, I've never had a problem but I always stress about it.

Coming back into Canada a few weeks ago, the customs guy was super cool, chit chatting... right up until he said "what's the value of everything you're bringing back today?"
And I said "uhmm... I'm not bringing anything back."
And he said "You didn't buy anything?"
And I said "no, not a thing"
and he said "ok, put the vehicle in park" and then started looking through the back and everything.
Sheesh, what? Am I like the first person to ever have gone into the US and returned without bringing something back?

Worst part, they threw me off the fucking train over it. I was stuck in the Canadian side of Niagra and I was supposed to be going all the way to Utica.. It fucking sucked.
how many times must I say this......being a black man and travelling by PLANE to canada from Mexico and having no problems.....AND driving to Canada from Detroit with no problems, I have to tell you the secret......
CLAIM SOMETHING!!!
Wherever you are, if you come into canada or into the US, tell them that you might have purchased too much liquor....If you tell them they won't search you...If you say you bought nothing, they will....
I was driving to Windsor one time and the border guard had a mean look at me while answering questions...I calmly told him that I had some Brandy in thr trunk in my car...He waved me on....
NOBODY who has something to hide will voluntarily tell a customs guard that they have brought too much liquor....Most customs don't want to deal with writing up the extra paperwork and will wave you on....

LOL, I met a Dutch couple when I was on vacation in Norway, they'd been going there for years, and they always smuggled 5 gallons of Dutch Gin along. (Alcohol is ridiculously expensive there, I paid $10 for a glass of beer in a bar) They had it in a clear jerrycan in the car, and they also had a little coffee machine that ran on the car battery, and always made sure that the coffee was just about ready when they got to customs, and offered the officers a cup. Of course the officers thought that the jerrycan contained water
If you don't look like a cornfed, christian-raised, hand spanked good clean white boy then you are going to have fucking problems crossing to either side of the border.
God fucking help you if you have an attitude problem.

When at the border be VERY VERY respectful. Dont joke around. Drop the attitude. If you dont get in its because youe were ACTING LIKE A DICK.
They turn people away who dont respect the international crossing ALL THE TIME.
good luck Juicy, you can always cross in New Brunswick.

Never pull attitude at the border, my friend's car got everything litterally thrown out of the car onto the floor when they searched his car... EVERYTHING, up to the spare tire, they found nothign and were like ok, have a good day and let me pack his shit up by himself, that's what you get for being fucking stupid

Head for north portal in saskatchewan, they're fucking idiots there. We had a fellow who was a shareholder in our company and had a special permit to come to canada come up with jact one time, and they turned them back at theborder, even though jact is a CANADIAN CITIZEN (in fact, they were told it would take 6 weeks to clear everything up). I got the phonecall at 2 in the morning saying they weren't letting them through, oh was I steaming mad. First thing I was down at the government offices screaming a blue streak. After numerous threats to take the entire incident to the newspapers (denying a canadian citizen entrance to canada, etc) and showing them just what complete morons they were, with MANY apologies they were let through to continue their trip (they had driven from Missouri, a little far to turn around and drive back). It was ugly, but I'll never have a problem getting someone into Canada again. I was just a TIDDLE upset (especially since I was recovering from a c-section and had a small child and a newborn I had to drag with me downtown on the bus..). Goes to show you, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
They weren't gonna let me back into the U.S. after going to Montreal for Internext in 98. The guy was a real prick. He wanted to know if there was any porn on my laptop after I told him where I'd been. I said " nope, not one titty " in a loud voice. It embarassed him so much he let me through in double time

Why would you tell them you were at a porn convention? Just say you went sightseeing or something.

Why lie? They can kiss my ass, I wasn't breaking any laws. The only law I woulda broke was lieing about where I was. I actually really liked Montreal, I woulda been happy to stay a few more days, just not in a cell.
