Ain't free trade fun?
Both sides are equally bad at various times.
It's always an anxious time going south in the GMC by myself when visiting
customers. Big sigh of relief when successfully through US Customs.
The biggest problem is that any and all discussion is VERY one-sided. Custom
is king and you're dirt. No individual should have so much power without
having to justify the need for it.
The joys of cross border trade...
