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.

I wonder if this started because the Canadian driver was going the speed limit in the left lane? If you're in the left lane and someone comes right up behind you, move over to the right lane and let them pass.

    I wonder if speculating without any evidence while making an excuse for an asshole is disingenuous? If you're going to speculate wildly, at least make it interesting like … he was driving upside-down and sideways instead of making up something so utterly lame.

    Obviously all 17 passengers in the car were chanting in Latin making the car levitate a bit off the ground.

    That isn't an offence as such but it's extremely offensive as it burns less fuel & produces less heroin greenhouse gases, and releases less tire microplastics.

    I'm an American driver that goes to speed limit almost always, I might occasionally go a few miles over to pass, if somebody is going under the speed limit I might pass them in the left lane, and the people that want to go faster can fuck all the way off, if I am passing I'm allowed to use that whether I am speeding or not.

    I think people are just dumb about speeding, most not even having anywhere to be just giving into their base instinct because they have no self control. And in doing so making themselves vulnerable to the authorities and their tax farming.

    No excuse for the border agent and he should know better. Please don't camp in the left lane, if this statement makes you angry you're part of the problem. Left lane camping causes road rage and unsafe driving habits.
