In a previous article, (Rich) said:
We just moved from the US to Canada last week and I can tell you first

it was more than than 10K they would collect some tax). In my
experience Canada Customs/Immigration is focused entirely on revenue
collection (taxation) first, with security being a distant second.

You should know that Canada Customs has a "work-to-rule" campaign going on
right now because they think they should be paid more since their focus
has changed in the last couple of years from revenue collection to
security.

I cross the border twice a month, usually by car, and I can tell you that
Canadian Customs and US Customs both have their more thorough days and
less thorough days. You just hit a less thorough day.
