I believe our border guys say to incomers, "Don't be upset about the delay, you are about to enter the land of the best hockey in the universe!"
Oh, definitely
Then they apologise for keeping you waiting and wave you on politely - Canadians are
so polite
(and, in case anyone's wondering, that's NOT a slight on any other nationality; it's a national stereotype and a standing joke that Canadians are the politest people on Earth. If you stand on a Canadian's foot,
s/he will apologise to
you!)
