The last time I was in canada was at the border crossing bridge in
buffalo/fort erie in a car.
I only needed to show my drivers license, open the trunk of my car, and
tell them what I was doing in Canada (going to the ballet, of course ;)

To be blunt, they probably wanted to look inside your car trunk to look
for guns. Here's a story one American co-worker told me about 22 years ago:
Apparently he and a group of friends wanted to cross the border from
Detroit to Windsor to do some bar-hopping in Windsor. (Go fig!) Anyways,
at the Canada Customs booth, they were asked if they had any guns in the
car, and they said no. But a search revealed they were lying, and they
had to pay a $500 find and the gun was confiscated. As they were
leaving, they asked the customs agent what would have happened if they
said yes. The official told them "No problem. You'd just have to leave
the gun here and pick it up again on your way back home."
I suppose the lesson here is that if you think you absolutely need to
bring a gun with you, check with Canada Customs first for the rules and
regs.
Cheers! Hans
