I know a Canadian Border Agent and I've been told that the two agencies don't really like each other at all. Moreover, Canadian Agents treat US citizens poorly and vice versa. The door swings both ways on that issue.
I pick up orders from MH across the border in the US and then walk it back into Canada. I never have any problems at all. They ask me what the herbs are for and I simply tell the truth. Honestly, they're just people who dislike their job just as much as the next guy. They don't even really pay attention to what's in the bottle. Their main concern is making sure I pay my tax on it, FINE WHATEVER, but sometimes they give me a break and I don't pay any tax. I find that if I'm polite, they're polite. I don't find the US agents to be as friendly to me, but I guess this is to be expected.
MH, you seem to knock Canada around a bit in your posts sometimes. I'd rather live in Canada than the US on any day. I'm guessing Canada poisons it's citizens less because our crime rate is leaps and bounds below the US. Canadians don't seem to enjoy killing each other as much as US citizens. Moreover, you look down upon the Canadian medical system. At a minimum, at least our system is not about taking every last dime from a family's savings. If I break my arm, I'm afraid I'm going to need a doctor's help because I don't have your training in herbs. I'm totally going to use the BF and C but I'm still going to need the system. If I'm in a car accident and brutally hurt, I think I'd prefer the devil's help than no help at all, so to speak. And afterwards, I get to keep my house.
