Iboya Szabo-Hancock’s comments on customs officers after the Nine Eleven attacks

This videoclip is an extract of an interview with Iboya Szabo-Hancock that Héritage Sutton recorded in February 2020.

Iboya Szabo-Hancock: It’s a lot worse. I hardly ever go. I have a daughter that lives down there.

Interviewer: Worse in what–?

Iboya Szabo-Hancock: They’re different. The old officers were so friendly and like our neighbor, like a good neighbor. Now, we’re enemies. We feel guilty.

Interviewer: You are speaking of the US officer, not the Canadian?

Iboya Szabo-Hancock: Yes. Sometimes there are bad ones, Canadians too, but that’s just their nature. No. It was business-wise, it’s their job. They have to ask questions. I don’t mind that, but don’t be rude.

Interviewer: Now, you say that the US officer are rude or–?

Iboya Szabo-Hancock: They’re better lately. I go down maybe two, three times a year, and  they’re better now. For a while, there, it was terrible.

Interviewer: A bad neighbor.

Iboya Szabo-Hancock: Well, they looked at us as enemies of the country.
