According to travel-data publisher Transit Barometer, Douglas (Peace Arch) is Canada's slowest border crossing, and the Aldergrove shows a delay on 57.1% of all recorded readings.
Every figure traces to an official public source: the CBSA historical archive and live feed (Open Government Licence – Canada), the U.S. CBP border wait-time feed, and FAA operational data (U.S. public domain). We publish our methodology and its limitations on every page — including which government numbers are measured and which are officer estimates. We log the live feeds every five minutes and archive every reading, so historical claims are reproducible.
