Canada Customs Border Guards

[Nexus]

Ever notice: Canada customs tend to let the rich people driving expensive cars who are looking pretty, glitzy, or fashionable get away with not paying duty when just going to the US for like a day even though they may have spent like $400 in one day while common or average peoeple tend to go inside for small amounts?

Heck, if I was a Canadian patrol guard and I see Brad Pitt drive by in an expensive car, I won't be stopping him! What's your point, Nexus?

[Reality Check]

If you don't want to get hassled at the border, bring a cute Asian girl and make sure she drives her Lexus, Audi, Benz, or Beamer.  However, even if she doesnt drive a beamer but a newer model car and have the pretty Asian girl show some cleavage or at least dress fashionable chances are great that you will be let through..,unless of course you get  a female guard.

I know a pretty Asian girl that goes to the US at least 3-4x a month and brings back $300/400 each visit but stays half a day.  She declares the goods every time but she ensures she goes to a male guard and she is let through all the time without having to pay duty or taxes.

  CCBA prides themselves for not profiling or showing favoritism but the reality is that they do sterotype people and have their favorites and can be "influenced" typically by a pretty rich [Asian] girl.

  Reality Check......you need a reality check.

  Your observations might have some merit if you suggested that some can be 'influenced' by a pretty girl.

if that the case I wonder why drug dealers don't use more pretty women for mules

border agents don't fool around. All they were missing at YVR was their riot shield and helmet and they'd be ready to go, they were in full armour. Very stressful job.

  I think they used to do that all the time......that's why no one is above suspicion any more. They made platform shoes in the 70's that had the hollow compartments in them.  Something tells me it wasn't for their lipstick.

 I think you need a reality check.  It's not just a pretty girl but a pretty asian girl in a luxury car.  Lots of asian girls laugh at this and how it is true.  It's a fact that you don't want to accept but Asians returning to Canada get waived through a LOT more compared to other races.  What's next, you're going to write that Bush is a great president too?    And yeah,  just to be clear, The Nile is a river in Egypt.

A lot of Canadians and not just border guards suffer from "Asian or Yellow Fever". Back in the day, just a regular pretty girl could influence a customs officer in Canada but now it's Asians (Orientals) who drive nice cars, especially those with Hello Kitty or other cute toys in them.   It's a double standard that hopefully one day the media will pursue.

    Maybe it's time to hire more Asian border guards......so the white girls can enjoy the same "standard"

  FYI......in some US neigborhoods, refering to asians as "Orientals" will get your ass kicked

The Asian border guards are typically at the Airport.  The oriental thing must be unique to North America as   in Europe/UK and elswewhere Asians refers to East Indians. Goes to show you North Americans know nothing about linguistics and make up their political correctness as they go along.

  My reality is in check.  My reality tells me such generalizations are almost always a bit off.  

Although beautiful Asian women will always turn heads....to assume that there is such specific taste in a specific profession is kind of bizarre.

I got offended at Super Store when I was with my friend. Instead of Asian food it was Oriental Food.
