The last time I visited Canada, about three years ago now, the Canadian border authorities pulled us aside and made us cool our jets in the office for an hour while they did who knows what to the rental car and scowled at us through the waiting room windows. Then, without elanation, they released us. They were such... they were so rude that, quite frankly, I don't care if I ever visit Canada again.
It's too bad the border crossings have become such a hassle. Apparently the authorities on both sides of the border only allow terrorists and drug dealers free passage, while pretending to be thorough by harassing the most obviously non-threatening people.
The pirate fest sounds like fun, though.
The Canadian/US border control once literally let through a murderer carrying a bloody chainsaw.
