Has being semi-nice to people ever resulted in a "terrorist" getting through and being mean kept one out?
These people are representing us to people who are going to extremely great lengths and personal cost to come to a country they probably admire and some jerk official with a chip on his/her shoulder who thinks he isn't getting paid enough, takes it out on this scared, tired person.
I bet if the officials were just averagely decent human beings, this situation would not have got so far, the cops would not be getting crucified and buddy would not be dead.
8 hours he was there? I am suprised he was as calm as he was.

I heard 10 hours but whatever... I couldn't agree more Fotze...
The apparent suggestion by some here that this man not having an Polish to English dictionary or that he did not memorize a few lines of English somehow makes his death his own fault is callous and sickens me... I'm saddened that Canada has become a place where we foster these kinds of opinions.
