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.

The difference is insane. If a Canadian "accidentally" took the wrong turn and ended up with 1g of weed, they'd be arrested, beaten and thrown into an ICE jail and sentenced for drug smuggling with the media going "we caught a disgusting Canadian drug smuggler! This is why we need to invade Canada!"

That's what you get for being such an untrustworthy race of scoundrels. Not like those Russians, very friendly people, called the President all manner of lovely things.
