Unless things have changed (again), you can't just buy it when you cross
the border, you have to order it ahead of time. *First time across, I
didn't have the sticker, but was able to show a receipt. *

I've been going to Canada and Mexico several times a year for almost 6
years now and have never put a sticker on my plane. Just hand the
customs inspector a check for $25 and you should be good to go
(actually I think the last one was $28). A month later a sticker
arrives in the mail which I usually just toss.
