Well for what it's worth. I am Asian. When I visited Canada the last/first time my story was a bit different. I have never been in trouble with the law before. But the Canadian Border agent would have never known that for sure because he never asked to see any form of I.D. from me. It was so very strange. He just asked a few questions like. "Do you have a gun. How long will you be staying. Reason for visit. Etc."

I remember the Canadian guy saying "we are a more peaceful country compared to the States". After I asked him why he doesn't want to search my car or look at my documentation.

It was so so strange. I suppose they might be using racial profiling. They might be giving blacks a harder time.

Maybe if you stopped being a criminal you wouldn't have trouble crossing the border. Canada Customs is only using info provided by the US.So if you are in trouble with the law there, you'll have trouble at any border point.
It seems Canada Customs is being blamed for being too lenient, now you are saying they are too harsh,people with problems always seems to blame someone else for their doing

Perhaps the head-out-of-*** manuveur will give you a better view of what is really going on.

I constantly travel between the Hatian communities of Boston and Montreal and have experienced or seen absolutely no evidence of Canadian customs impeding me or anybody. I read 4 Canadian newspapers daily and listen to both Montreal and Ottawa talk and news radio constantly and have never read or heard of any complaints. What Canadian monitoring of blacks as may exist, if any, is of Toronto's of the Jamaican immigrant community because of gang violence and the smuggling of guns from the USA.

I didn't know that was going on, on the other hand tell your American authorities to purge your record and that so-called felonious biased data. However your own authorities are so
paranoid that they incorporated passports for Canadian Citizens. So what do you expect, we are supposed to be a haven for terrorists and need to be careful what comes across the border into our country. And I do think the international community doesn't give a hoot what goes on over here.
I therefore would advise you to keep your war-mongering views to yourself.

The Canadian authorities are acting on information provided to them by the US authorities. I sense a lot of hostilities in your question, the fact that you mentioned expired felonious biased data, I can only question, was there felony data in the first place or did they also fabricate the information? The Canadian border is the most accessible one any where and I fell bad that you feel as if you are being singled out.
