Back in the good 'ol days we used to take guns back and forth to our
cabin in CAnada...  sounds like another world now.  Now they won't
even let you bring mace,or anything else you could protect yourself
with.  The bad guys know you are defenseless
if you have US plates...I didn't feel good about driving my Westy into
Canada having been searched and cleared by customs.  Kept checking to
see if anyone was following me! Canada now has a higher home robbery
(hot burglerly) rate than the supposably crime ridden US.  Lawmakers
are intent on making the country safe for criminals.  Great!  Maybe
our thugs will move up there!
