Like I sez las' year, the Canadian Gummint tries real hard.

I was come'in back from Eau Claire in the Vanagon, eh, and the customs guy asks me if I have anything to declare.

Well, Alls I bought wuz some cookware, so I sez just a little pot, eh.

Next thing yknow, they dragged me and the dog into this little stuffy room and asked me all kindza funny questions.

"What'sa problem with have'in a little pot, eh?", I kept ask'in.

I couldn't figgure out why they cared so much were I got it, either.

Like I sez, be careful bringin yur cookware into Canada, 'cause our Gummint tries real hard to protect us.
