I have crossed the border several times at Detroit/Windsor and have
never been given hassles.  Typical scenario:

Customs:  Are you a citizen of Canada?
Me: Yes
Customs: what are you doing in Canada?
Me: Visiting my Mom and Dad.
Customs: Anything to declare.
Me: Yea, a few T-shirts and a couple of records.
Customs: How long did you stay in the US?
Me: A year.
Customs: Okay, go ahead.

No hassles, no search, and they don't even look at my papers.
I also have no problems when I cross back except that US Customs
wants to look at my papers.
