I've been across the border several times in the past year with no problems either way. As a matter of fact, I just spent a few days earlier this week traveling among the godless Canadians.
I have heard a number of recent horror tales, however, of US residents attempting to enter Canada. It seems that most of these stories involve a female Canadian border guard. Part of the problem is of our own doing. Our government now shares all its criminal records with Canada; if you were caught smoking cornsilks as a kid, you probably can't get into Canada now. I find it interesting that the same country which welcomed draft dodgers in the sixties is now turning away those same men (now old pharts) for things they did forty years ago.
I suggest you report this incident to the New York Automobile Club. Not that they'll do anything about it, but if enough folks complain they might publicize it. Canada really doesn't want AAA to tell US travelers to avoid their country.
You also might want to send a letter to this fellow:
The Honorable Michael Chan Minister of Tourism and Culture Hearst Block, 9th Floor 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2E1
Lastly, I suggest you send a letter to the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo, NY.
Keep your letters brief and to the facts: You attempted to enter Canada, you were turned away ostensibly for reasons that make no sense, you will go out of your way to avoid the country in the future and will advise your family and friends to do the same.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
