Border agents are able to ask you hard questions, look through your items even electronics, etc.
I didn't say they can't professionally ask questions or look through items. There is a line that separates legitimate border examination from bullying and harassment.
In most cases that is just doing their job.
Doing the job is not bullying. I don't have statistics on this but I know for a fact that they don't always do their job, as they supposed to. They do bully some travelers and violate the laws.

It would be highly misleading and false assertion, to suggest that Canada border agents never engage in unlawful activities.
There is no need for a supervisor or reports.
It depends on each individual case. If border agent is professional, report would be useless unless you wanted to report good behavior of the agent. But if he bullied you, the report would be absolutely critical in getting attention to unlawful behavior of the border agent vested with unchecked powers.
There id absolutely no proof that Caucasian males are the ones that get questioned the most at the border. What type of passport you carry may also influence who goes to secondary.
No one needs to prove that. What I said is that
bullies are cowards, and as such they are less inclined to discriminate against protected groups (females and visible minorities), because they know likelihood of press exposure and other consequences are higher when they do this to protected groups. If you don't belong to protected group, there is higher chance the bully will target you. I think it's plausible assertion.
Would add that border control agents in Canada are certainly not known for bullying, harassment, violence, taking bribes, etc.
See my response above.
Been to other countries where border agents can do what they want without recourse. There a recent case where a newborn was found in the washroom of the airport in Qatar and they forced all the women travelling on at least one plane to do pelvic exams.

It's absolutely irrelevant to subject matter what border guards in remote places such Qatar or Zimbabwe do at their POEs. I guess your next example will be Taliban, to show how great Canadian border agents are in comparison to Mullah Umar.
We all understand you’re not a fan of the RO in Canada but have no grounds to criticize or find fault in everything about Canada. Not sure why you are even on this forum if you have such disgust when it comes to Canada and clearly have no desire to return.
Allow me to decide for myself why I visit public forums and share my views, just as you do. I am not asking you why you are here arguing with me. It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that I have no "grounds" to criticize whatever I want to criticize.
Furthermore, you make false assertion when you state that I
"find fault in everything about Canada". Not that I can't do that if I want to, I absolutely can. And this forum is exclusively about Canada, so it's off topic to keep discussing customs in the other countries. But it's simply untrue to say what you are saying , in light of my posts where I wrote how much I liked Canadians, how I liked the safety and security of walking on the street at 2:00am, European feel of it, friendliness of people and etc. I also didn't single out Canada as sole culprit of what's going on at the border, and suggested that we live through dark times, where big tech censures free speech, people on internet are surveilled without a warrant 24/7, bureaucrats abuse their powers and harass legitimate travelers at the border and etc.
