The last time I went to Canada, I was on a men's yacht cruise from Lake Erie to Lake Huron, and at one point we docked on the Canadian side, took a ride to a restaurant, and had a great dinner. So, we had to go through Canadian customs or whatever.
I had no passport, and the Canadian customs didn't ask for one.
The Canadian customs officials were all women, looked friendly, and were smiling. It looked like Canada was a really nice place!
So, I joked, self deprecating, that here I was, a US citizen from the crass, crude, violent, insensitive, vulgar US! :-) Right away with some seriousness of agreement the Canadian woman concurred! Still, it was a nice trip to Canada! I like Canada and hope to go back!
Of course, next time, in trying to return, maybe the US customs won't let be back in!
