I suspect it has little to do with what state you might drive into; intl border is a federal jurisdiction. Just have to hope you get a college student in their summer job.

Silly me, I am certain you are correct. In the old days, a Green Card was good for as long as HLS could recognize you in the photo. Mine was from when I was 17 with slightly long hair. Asshole at the border gave me a hard time about using my sisters card to come back into the country and after finally letting us go, told me to get a new card as next time (like I will ever see him again) he wouldn't let me in.

So I go down to get the new card and the employee and supervisor asked me if I was sure I wanted to do that, as they could recognize me from the card. I told them to just do it, as all I need is another asshole at the border, giving me grief when I come back into the country. Now I have to go through the hassle and expense every 10 years of updating the card. What a racket.

I also have a friend that did nothing, when flying into Canada a few years ago, that the canucks held him in the airport for hours with no apparent reason, which caused him to miss his next fight and miss a day a skiing. I suppose they just don't want our money.

Don't want your money? We're number One on America's travel list. You fucking love us. And we had(have) more snow this year then like, forever. You'll be back😁

Pfft, 5% beer? Our baby formula is that now. Some of our regular crafts are bordering on moonshine at this point.

I sure hope you're being sarcastic--because if not you come off as an entitled American douche.

My wife's green card was from when she was a kid too. I can't believe they let her use it for 40 some odd years up until she got naturalized.

If I remember correctly in the 80's it was easy for a Canadian to get a green card. Wish I had applied.
To be able to live in Cali or Maui would be very appealing.

She got her first one in about 1970. I don't know how old she was in her permanent one. The picture looked nothing like her as an adult unless you squinted hard.

Which was funny because their beer was virtually the same strength as American beer. The difference was Canada historically measured alcohol percentage as percent by volume and the U.S. measured it as percent by weight. 4% by weight is equivalent to 5% by volume.

So, Canadians are definitely being denied access at the boarder now due to self admitted pot usage...

Ha! The father-in-law got refused at the border the other week. Conscientious objector from back in the day, got pardoned, then gave up citizenship when the US came after him for income tax a year ago. Was going for a road trip south from Victoria to visit aging relatives, smoked a reefer with his gf on the way to the border (and they had been hotboxing his van for the previous week visiting us at the cabin). Now they need to get a visa to get across the next time. Doh! State may be 420 friendly, but the fence is federal!

From the article:

"What they do is they interrogate you. They tell you that if you don't tell them the truth, they're going to do a drug test on you. They can't do that," Saunders said.

"They tell you they're going to do a lie-detector test. They can't do that. They tell you they will hold you indefinitely or possibly arrest you for not telling the truth. They can't do that.

"I see this intimidation. People eventually break down and they admit to it...."

Just fkn lie is the plan (obviously). They can't do anything about it. Also don't bring it across the line.

We don't need any more joggers down here. If only ICE would do something about all these damn bicyclists we could finally make some progress in this country.

Yeah, no kidding. The hypocrisy on this one is... I'd say unbelievable, but at this point I'd believe anything.

My buddy didn't lie like I had told him to coming back into the US and the agent in the booth tried to jerk us around. The guy in the customs office told us she was a jerk and to drive safely and have a nice day. Pre 9/11 I'll add so the number of jerks at the border has gone up by a factor of 100 and now they all dress like a SWAT team. Lie about what they can't know and Practice makes perfect IME.

Lawyers in general are, especially government lawyers. Its not about justice, its about winning.

I feel embarrassed for all of you down there. I know we don't live in Shangri la, but it's more than fucking ridiculous hearing the shit that comes out of the orange haired shit-gibbon's mouth. And now a trade war and tariffs based on trading with Canada being a security risk. Fuck, I'm supposed to spend money in your Country now??? This shits gone too far.

Absolutely. I remember bringing back cases of Brador back into the good old USA back in high school. You felt like a king drinking Brador when you were used to a steady diet of Milwaukees Best and Genny Cream Ale.

Same here. I was legal to drink since I was 18 in Vt, 19 in NY, we used to jet to Montreal and get cases of these.

that guy is such an asshole he has rallied Canadians whom have never had a buy Canadian program to say fuck you ... i'm buying Canadaian

many people wonder why nobody has taken a shot at him yet but all the people who might ... are his supporters

I think that ^^ cross border thing depends a lot on the exchange rate and the exchange is high right now, pre 911 I used to jump in the car fillup on the cheap gas, buy some cheap over produced/not marketing board controled dairy products and be home in 1/2 an hr

The cdn $ has to go way lower than 75 cents to stop cross border shopping in Bellingham. Half the plates at TJ's and Costco are BC pretty much every day of the week, and at Costco gas they're filling multiple 5 gallon containers too.

If there's a buy Canadian movement happening, Vancouver didn't get the memo.
