Ontario's border has been a mess all week, to say the least, as drivers and travellers continue to face long delays caused by repeated system outages at Canadian customs and border inspections kiosks.
Although the outage has since been resolved, videos of the resulting gridlock quickly spread on social media.
Trucks have been lined up all morning, halted from entering Canada at every border crossing due to a technical issue.
Those traveling via plane weren't spared either this week, as two outages affected CBSA's self-serve kiosks, which passengers use to make their customs declarations, at multiple Canadian airports.
