My wife, me and little kid are all white, over 50 (not counting kid and dog), no turbans, burkas, tattoos, piercings, bones in our hair, plates in our lips, etc. My dog is a Scottish border collie, so yeah . . . she's got some black fur. Also wears a collar, so might seem to be into bondage??
I've been crossing into Canada for over 40 years. I've worked there. My wife got her Masters Degree there. My great-Uncle served in the Canadian military in WWII. Our appearance has never been an issue until now. Nor was my attitude.
If anything, what got the agent angry, was when I answered questions truthfully. She said I was lying and wanted me to admit it. So, I guess the "correct" attitude for me was to acquiesce, and agree with her false statements about me? "Yes mam, I'm a US criminal and I've never, ever been to Canada before. I made up the story about coming here many times before. I tried to sneak into your country by using your legal crossing spot using a valid ID. My dream in life is to become a modern-day Fenian and attack Canada again." Of course, the dim-wit-tette probably doesn't know her own Canadian history and know what a Fenian is (it's not taught in the USA but IS in Canada).
The other funny thing was the various tractor parts I had in the truck, along with some circuit breakers for a household electrical panel. It seems some of those young inspectors don't know a farm tractor from Sputnik, and all the stuff was suspect to them. John Deere 420 nuclear weapon maybe? Note all the stuff I was hauling was also pre-approved by Canadian officials. All my paperwork was in order.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
