Both sides {US and Canada} move data back me forth but on request. Neither side has direct access to the other side without specific permission.
This has been my impression as well, only that "permission" is being granted automatically or for certain periods of time. US enter you in computer when you cross into the US, Canadians enter you when you cross back into Canada, and either side can pull your record on the screen with touch of a button. I had 2 occasions to witness this, both times it was not a pleasant feeling as they suddenly began asking a whole bunch of questions, and questions were right to the point. One should always assume that US/Canada border is an integrated system with access to records from either side.
