‘I have never experienced elsewhere the guilty-until-proven-innocent behavior … when entering Canada.’ How to stand up to border guards, plus other letters to the editor for Oct. 1
: Should government employees treat us as “valued customers”? Perhaps, but we should remember that we are not customers of our governments – we are their owners. And employees typically treat their bosses with elaborate consideration.I have travelled the world extensively as a Canadian. In all my working life, I have never experienced elsewhere the “guilty-until-proven-innocent” behaviour that I consistently receive when entering Canada.
On one occasion, I contacted senior officials at the Canada Border Services Agency to relay a horrific experience. They were kind enough to listen, and put me in touch with the actual agent to ensure our grievance was fully shared. I recall vividly my first encounter with Canada, when I landed as an immigrant many years ago and was met by an immigration official at the airport. One is tired and emotional after a long flight. In my case, the meeting was in the early hours of the morning.
