A video showing what looks to be a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer yelling at a Canadian tourist to “never come to the U.S. again” is being investigated by the CBP.

The 39-second video, uploaded to social media sites, was taken from inside a vehicle travelling south on highway I90 in New York State, a few kilometres from the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge that connects Queenston, Ont., with Lewiston, N.Y.

Even when I used to think more highly of my own country, I still thought most CBP guys are dickheads. Still do.

They are given way too much power over non-citizens and somehow that goes to their heads, making them think they are better than fellow humans.

    "The country you are located in is not supported. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we do not allow access in your current location."

    Never mind. I have in fact encountered the border militia while in transit at LAX. It was not a pleasant experience.
