Friend of mine said the Canadian border patrol agents were having a labor dispute earlier this summer, not a strike but more of a intentional slowdown which caused long waits and long lines.
Anybody cross over to the Canadian side lately there and experience this.???

I was up there from the 4th through the 13th. I had no issues at all. LCBO employees went on strike on 7/5. But it never affected us. We usually get beer in Sunset store in Nestor Falls or Sioux Gift Shop in Sioux Narrows. No issues at those places at all. Good luck!

Crossed at International Falls on the 10th, returned yesterday...Five vehicles ahead in line entering Canada, total wait less than 10 minutes, and a minute or two returning.

I understand liquor store employees are on strike, bit that's about it.

The guys I went up with last week go as far as Int. Falls and cross at 5:30 AM. On July 22, no one ahead of us at 5:30 AM. They said they never have more than two vehicles in line at that time.
