I am Canadian and I have always had an easier time crossing Into the US. I have been detained multiple times from the Canadian side.

I took an espresso repair course just across the boarder in Washington and on my way back I was detained for hours and questioned very aggressively because "there is no such thing as an espresso machine repair course".

That being said, I don't doubt the American side can be tough too, though I have never experienced it.
