We have been to Canada 3 times. The first time we entered Detroit-Windsor. The Canadian asked how many guns we had. We answered none. She then said, "You are from Missouri and you don't have any guns?" Again, No. She asked, "How do you protect yourself?" My answer then was a question to her, "Do we need guns to visit Canada?" She said, "Have a nice visit."
The second visit we were re-entering at the International Peace Gardens at about 8AM. The Americans searched our car, even going thru our dirty laundry bag. We got to watch it all on tv.
The third visit we were coming back into Maine about 9PM. The American guard wanted to see in the back. DW had a quilt making business and we had purchased a lot of fabrics. He just wanted to know how we could afford so much cloth. We gave him her business card and he waved us on.
So we had no trouble but recommend you not buy any eagle claws from the Indians road side stands. I was going to make necklaces for the grandkids, but that is another story.
