Experience flying into Vegas as a Canadian

While entering the US due to being rerouted by WestJet through Las Vegas, we experienced a disturbing encounter with an immigration officer at the Las Vegas airport. There was some confusion in the line about which person was next in line for the next agent. The officer I was dealing with looked at me, a Canadian travelling with a Canadian passport, and said loudly “This is why Americans don’t respect Canadians…” Really?? The Mayor of Las Vegas is encouraging Canadians to visit as Canadian tourism has dropped off dramatically. Maybe the first thing she could do would be to have a ‘chat’ with the first Americans we see in Vegas. If the jerk officer that I dealt with happens to see this I will say what I wanted to at the time (but didn’t cuz who knows where that might land you…)
“Back at ya buddy. Take that sentiment and multiply it ten fold. That is the disrespect I have for you and all your countryman who share your ignorant point of view.”
