There are some things Canadians take very seriously.
I guess it's akin to the USA demanding we hand over our bananas and oranges when we cross your border because God knows we grow an inferior version of those up here in the frigid north.

Horsechit; the average American is paranoid over every thing under the sun. Hence gun sales, TSA, NSA, CIA, ATF, HS, FBI, and a plethora of other agencies all created to give you the illusion of providing you with the security your fear ridden people all crave.

Paranoia is a mild word to describe the current American mind set.

I know, eh? I had to hand over an avocado that was grown in California, but I couldn't take it into the States.

Nothing special, if I go from Idaho to California they demand the same from me. Hand over the fruit!
