They would have been dealing with Canadian customs but too stupid to know the difference. (Or maybe they just want to rag on the U.S.)
I'm thinking that there have been a lot of these articles lately in the Canadian press and they all have an anti American bent. Liberal media mis-representing the Canadian people and how they feel about this. Maybe it's an attempt to justify Chertien's stupid remarks and Graham's weak wrist approach to International Affairs. I've been questioned everytime I enter the US (I was once denied access,) and it's no big deal. Although I would refuse finger printing and personal info. past identifying myself.
