Xenophobe...didn't he write the Anabasis? :-)

Wow...you do like to make things up. It's the second time in two
days you have purposely misrepresented what I say. Too bad I'm
not thin-skinned.

I certainly never condone any government for anything they do
that causes any measure of harm but you must realize that it
wasn't the government that treated you badly, it was one employee
or maybe a few.

You had the opportunity to make the matter known to the proper
authorities but you failed to do that, approaching an improper
authority instead. If you wanted to know who to contact, your
path is simple: call the Canadian Embassy, say you wish to report
unacceptable behaviour by customs employees and ask who to
contact for that. You would not have been sent to the "Ministry
of Immigration" (tm applied for).

Sheesh.

Ask yourself (and I'm sure you already know the answer) how
likely is it that a Canadian encountering such a situation would
get satisfaction from US Customs. Sort of in the order of zip to
none, beyond a pro-forma letter.

What is the name of the person who sent you the letter, if I may
ask? Did you ever check to see if this was who you thought it
was? I bet not.

Since your command of the English language is so poor, I'm not bothering
with you any more. Defend your **** ant Napoleon wannabe border
official to the stars if you want. I really don't care.

Quebecan? This is getting rather funny.

Ja, obviously some delusion that there is such a category and that
it matters. Oh well, back to work. I ill-advisedly mentioned
having the project done by next summer, which is a tall order as
our test groups have revealed it requires an entire restructuring.

*sigh*
