Totally agree, I'm in Oakville also and not a chance would I attempt.
The border waits can be bad at anytime but on a Friday Saturday and holiday weekend factored in, not a chance.
Also chiming in with my agreement. I live near those borders and have my whole life. I avoid holiday weekends like the plague, and if I had to I'd build in a 2 hour cushion just to sit at the border on top of the drive time.
We used to go to Lake Placid every Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. We'd leave a day early to avoid waits crossing over, and we pretty much just sat at a dead stop at the Peace Bridge for at least 1.5 to 2 hours coming home.
ETA) and while I can't confirm this, I would expect heightened security these days, and would bet my last dollar that it's making the waits even longer.
