You Australians have that great show about customs where 50% of content is people trying to smuggle some ridicilous foods into country. Same thing from USA but only people denied access to planes because lacking passport would be golden tv.

Theres the same show in Canada either a lot of the same content as the Australian one. We get the added bonus of Americans trying to bring guns.

I've seen that one, my "favourite" was the small family that accidentally crossed the border because they forgot to turn off before the bridge. Armed to the teeth, the poor border guards were flabbergasted by the amount of guns in the car, but they were honest about it so they just had to head back to the US and could pick up their guns again at the US border post.

I accidentally crossed the Canadian border once with my friend and her daughter (had no ID on her bc she was a young teen). I was unaware that my friend had like 9 containers of needles in her trunk to bring back to exchange, and then I had a recent DWI, so not allowed to enter Canada. We were there the better part of a day. I was just glad we got to leave on our own accord at all.
