There is a problem with that particular crossing. 2 years ago my girlfriend, her dad, and i were on a roadtrip from seattle. We decided to go to whitefish first, drive up to canada to jasper, head west, then come back home through vancouver, a big circle. When we got to the border crossing, an all male crew was working. They told us we would have to go inside and the vehicle would be searched. They started asking intimate questions they had no business asking (about my relationship with my girlfriend, trying to use intimidating tactics because they just knew we had drugs when we didn't, why we didnt go through vancouver when we lived so close to it like im not an adult that can choose whatever route i deem to be the best for my needs, why did my girlfriend look differently than her dad (she is adopted, who asks this?!?), did they just pick me up off the side of the road again, wtf. Anyway, i digress. Fortunately, her dad is a lawyer and stepped up to inform them o f that when the invasive questions started. All of a sudden the twenty questions stopped and we would "do well to be on our way" like we stopped there by choice.
