Increased harassment at US/Canadian border?

[piecurious]

I've been seeing more reports about this and was wondering if anyone here has had any recent personal experiences they would like to share. From what I understand, it's mostly arising from the US side of the border and device searches are becoming more frequent.

I crossed 2 weeks ago without any issues on either side.

What reports? Where? Without giving any examples, you're just starting a rumor.

It's been in the news, more than one outlet too.

Returned recently on a busy travel day. Only 2 lane open. Almost 4 hours in line. It was brutal. Does that count?

I visit the US at least once or twice a month for work. However, I usually cross the border in airports, and maybe once or twice a year by car. So, my recent experiences have been the opposite. The US side has become more relaxed, while Canadian customs have started taking longer in the past few months. I've also noticed that it's become more difficult for Americans to cross our border as well

I would agree with the above post. Canada side was a bit unorganized and sending a lot of people for secondary inspections. Didn’t see if they were USA plates or Canada. Coming back into the states was business as usual. No issues.

There are tariffs on a number of items going into Canada, so that may explain the delays. Not so going into the States.
