My wife has family in Canada. Between that and going back and forth to northern New York we have crossed the border lots of times.
Far and away the worst crossings have been returning to the states through the Ambassador Bridge. The tunnel has never been that bad, but if we don't want to go through downtown Detroit, the bridge is a better route and the duty free store is better.

I usually cross at International Falls and they have always been professional. They randomly do more extensive vehicle searches that's there job. I'm greatful they take it seriously.
Like others have said have your window down, sunglasses off, look them in the eye and answer truthfully. Answer the questions directly and don't add unnecessary information.
