Each time I travel to border in Quebec to come back in Canada which is home for me, they always send me to the second search for no reason. They pretend they find cocaine in your bags (never did it btw ;). The 3 times I got search was by young stupid kids coming out of school. Quebec airport is small so they don’t have anything to do in there. They will search and keep searching because I have long hair and big clothes. A lot of profiling from them. Good airport but no Air Canada lounge, only a private lounge and they refused me with an air canada lounge pass.
