I'm amazed at how the perception that the border is always JAMMED has endured for so long (understandably it acquired this reputation in the days and months after 9/11). As a regular commuter/crosser up to 4 times a day, I rarely if ever see the sort of "gridlock" I hear people breathlessly talking about it. Dollar parity and cross-border shopping has certainly made the weekends rough--but overall things aren't all that different than they were 10 or 15 years ago. All that has changed is society's tolerance for anything that takes longer than 30 seconds (for the record I'm not passing judgement on the ambulance incident--just making a general statement).
