Friendly POE land crossings Saskatchewan or Manitoba?

[Married_my_love 0]

Going to be driving over to visit the husband's cousin in Winnipeg, our route can take us crossing at either Sask. or Manitoba. Just wanted to know if anyone here has had a particularly "pleasant" crossing experience or a suggested entry (if there is such a thing)

Busy no problems, but friendly... that's what i'm talkin' about.

I just did the Sarnia POE for the first time and the guy was soooo nice. It was "almost" a pleasure!!

(although he thought it was weird that I wrapped my husband's bday pkg in SpongeBob paper)

I went in through Plentywood, MT (not sure what that one is called) On the way into the US they were super nice, even joked with the kids. I had a chick with a baditude on the way back into Canada though.

I assume neiks is a friend?

I am actually looking forward to the road trip, haven't seen that part of the U.S. Should be interesting.

OOOOOOOOH now I feel silly. LOL!!

I've only ever had a male Customs officer and they weren't particularly friendly, but not unfriendly either. Of course, we only spoke to them for total of a minute or two to get back into Canada. The real grilling for me was to get back into the States but even then it was only for them to check over the documents and for them to stare into the car.

well it looks like our road trip will take us through the POE at Dunseith as we're going to visit the Peace Garden & then go thru Boissevain, Manitoba for a picture of the big giant turtle!!

Thanks for the help!

Yep This is were I work! The Peace Gardens are actually very nice once the flowere are in bloom.... and well Tommy - is the big turtle that is in the town of Boissevain.

Like any port there is the good and bad inspectors - so yes you may have a pleasant experience or you may get the crusty one. An hey, even I have some bad days. Just don't ask for Neiks or they will think you are crazy. Name dropping isn't a good thing.
