14. They Hassled My Parents
The Border Guards hassled my Mom and Dad when they were coming back through Detroit/Windsor from Canada. My Mom leads bus tours for her retirees group. She had one that went to Ottawa last spring. She said that the Border Guards were so rude to her group of senior citizens that she's not taking a tour group to Canada again. She said that they were worse than when my parents went to Europe and got hassled by the Austrian border guards on their bus.
