In the 1960’s you could go to Canada from the U.S.A. for a “sightseeing visit” with little or no hassle. You would be questioned about why you were entering, eyed for any suspicious behavior, then waved through. I was there in the back seat of my Dad’s Chevy.

Actually you could do that up until September 10, 2001.

I went up to canada for the first time in 1972...

You got waved through both ways in those days..

I was in Canada just before June 1st this year...

I was scrutinized going into Canada but the lines were not long...

Coming back after June 1st the lines both ways were long..

They really checked each person coming back into the US..
