3:20 1 Taxi.
1 Nigerian woman heavily loaded with bags, 6 RCMP officers , seemed excessive. Woman said that a Canadian lawyer had paid her taxi fare. She spoke English, said she had been through a lot. Warning by RCMP made in standard fashion, but all people crossing today had a body search, which I had not seen previously. FYI Taxi driver said he charged $70 for one person and $90 per family. Warned us about the unmarked white van , insinuating he charged more. 3:50 1 white van, unmarked , driver seemed concerned for his passengers. He said he had charged $60 for the two men together. 2 young men from Libya, in their 20s. They spoke English, carrying few bags. 4:35 1 Taxi. One young man , in early 20s, carrying very little with him, had paperwork. Not sure where he was from , he spoke broken English, hesitating to cross... " I just want to be safe!" The taxi driver said that he had seen some pretty rough behavior by the RCMP during the week, including that of a large officer with tattoos on both arms who had made a family with kids cry. All three drivers got out of their cars to see their passengers across which was nice.
