My cousins live in London, Ontario, but spend maybe 1&#x2F;2 of their time in the states, where their mother (my aunt) was born and raised. They cross the border all of the time.<p>They love to joke about the Canadian attitudes towards their risk exposure coming into the states; although it has become more frustrating to cross the border, the mythology is a bit hyped.<p>I would say, however, and they&#x27;d probably agree, you&#x27;ll find a huge variation in policing between regions and urban areas vs rural ones. I&#x27;m from the country (now in the city) and rural cops scare me more than urban cops because... hard to express.
