it is for the protection of the child.

Both U.S. and Canada the same, when the child is under legal age (16? or 18?), when either travel alone or travel with one parent, a letter of consent from the other parent (or from both parents) are required.

There are too many cases of "parental kidnaps" - one of the divorced parent took the kid out of the country when he/she lost the custody.

If the Canadian Officer is really going by the book, he would not even let you pass. He exercised his judgment after questioning you extensively - that there is no foul play in your case. Too bad you misunderstood him being regid.
