Yesterday I was at Canada Customs declaring some product I was bringing into Canada. This process always has about 1/2 hour wait time. You can either wait in lounge and listen to CNN or go to outdoor waiting area where they have added som picnic tables to shady side building adjacant to inspection area where they take closer look at some loads. Lo in pulls a 53' flat bed trailer loaded 80% with Landpride farm and landscape equipment, and straped down on the very back was a delightful little Ferrari turquoise coup. An equally delightful young lady was driving this rig and joined myself and others at the picnic tables. She told us she had already been there for two hours and now they wanted to inspect the load. We watched as customs officer, after officer, after officer, etc inspected that little Ferrari. No attention whatever was put on the Landpride eq. We suggested to her she may be there for 24 hours awaiting customs to go through 3 shifts of the day then there are guys with day off, might want to have close look at a Ferrari. And that is bloody well all that was going on, a bunch of Custom Officers wanting to have a closer look at a Ferrari. As I was leaving, I advised her sun would soon take away the shade heading into pm. It is not a pleasant spot late afternoon. I suggested to her there were some benefits to trucking cabbage, you deal with one Customs Officer and if he does look, it's a very quick glance.
