I know that crossing the border can be tricky but I've never had any difficulties at all. When asked by the people there, I try to be forthright. I try to clear my mind and hear exactly what it is they're asking and answer it succinctly as possible; I try not to" rehearse" what it is I'm going to say because it'll just flub me up. I don't have anything to hide. And while it is a minor inconvenience at times, I usually allocate myself an extra half hour for just such little glitches at the border. I've already put into my mind that it's what to expect when I cross the border- anything quicker or faster is a bonus.
My only beef with the border crossings is the price! The Detroit-Windsor crossing is by FAR the most expensive of any that I've made between the two countries and I've made them from Campobello Island, NB, Niagra Falls, Port Huron [[it's pricey there too!), Blaine, WA, Sault Ste. Marie, to Buffalo, NY. It's utterly amazing what they get away with here price wise for the tolls.
