canada customs

just wondering isn't there Any roads you can take in or out of Canada that doesn't go Thur customs.and y does everything take so long.I cant see what the big deal is with that place I could understand if it was guns or ammo man if I lived up there id have to find a back road out to a U.S post office even if it was an old logging road....is Canada that nice a place to live????..good luck I think of this everytime I read about you guys sending or whiting on something..Artie
