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.

Why are people being so mean to this CBP officer giving a public service announcement to tourists?

    Please don't refer to the color orange when referencing our idiot-in-chief - it's insulting to the intelligence of our single brain-celled orange feline friends.

    Can we refer to him as the bloated, bald bag of fecal containment?

    I think the preferred description is "fucking satan".

    Personally I feel it lacks panache.

    Same same. I went from living in the US 3 months of every year for various jobs to now where I won't even fly over. I love our american friends, but their leadership (and lack of pushback against the same) have made it a non-starter for even visiting.

    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.

    I've never met a CBP official that was polite, efficient or professional. It looks like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find these people.

    These are people who are such losers they couldn't qualify to be police. Let that sink in.

    Oh, my, it's far worse than that.

    Border guards (in almost any nation) are those the police rejected and the prisons rejected.

    They're not good enough to be PRISON GUARDS.

    Let that sink in.

    ... imagine a country where there are so many prison guards that this statement has any meaning.

    in my experience, the grand majority are either assholes or just terrible to deal with. but there have been a handful of genuinely nice people, and another handful of neutral

    very much overshadowed by the assholes though

    Yelling at people from the next car over doesnt seem very safe, and also seems like harassment. This moron needs to be fired from his job in the US and also banned from ever entering canadian soil.

    Interesting. What about the child rapist and felon rump and the epstein list?

    People sure do lose their minds when folks are crusing in the left lane. It even creates international incidents with unhinged border guards.

    Can we admit that they probably yelled this at the Canadian because they are sitting in the fucking left lane driving slow as fuck for no reason?

    I regularly yell shit like this at New York plates blocking the traffic on the 401. I wouldn't want left lane hogging morons in my country so I don't fault them for feeling the same way.

    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.
