Yeah I didn't know, but should have figured that the border patrol guys ask a bunch of questions like "what are you doing and why."

I just told them I was using the engine for industrial use, specifically a generator on my folks farm...   ::)

They asked me what I did for a profession, how much money I had on me, how much I paid for the engine.

I referred to it as an engine, but I am going to say I didn't have to do any paper work on it because I didn't intend to use it in a vehicle.

NAFTA states no taxes on stuff produced and traded between Mexico, USA, and Canada.

NO alcohol sold at convenience stores.


Only in Ontario, every other province has either on off sale store or said corner store.

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia only sell it at Liquor Stores owned by the province
