Canadian Officers are trained with a massive amount of legislation. The Federal Govt. trains them how to greet people in both official languages... And a bunch of other useless crap. They are trained in Control and Defensive Tactics, firarms, and tactics.

Supplemental Interview and Interrogation courses are organized by the Officers in their own regions because they want to be better at their jobs. The Officers understand that the training they get from the Feds is insufficient. The majority of the men and women working the border are there to stop real threats (trust me, there are real threats) but because the CBSA was recently formed (2005 - combining Customs and Immigration), the training suffered and has not yet been brought to an acceptable standard.

Behavioural profiling is an Police/Immigration/Customs Officer's greatest tool.

The border can be a really ugly place. The public and news doesn't see that part, because the Officers are pretty good at filtering the filth away from the good people before larger issues develop.
