This was on the radio yesterday and I thought for sure that it was a spoof, since it couldn't possibly be real, but...it is a real interview from October 2013.

This is not real. It is from a comedy show.

It *is* a spoof! The radio show is a news satire program. I have never had a rude encounter like that with a CBSA officer, but I have with a US Immigration officer at an airport once.

I haven't found the border guards to be very friendly but at least let people realize this was from a comedy show.
