Canada customs is still working on getting the booby prize for most oppressive Canadian governmental body.
A brass ring they seem to have been chasing going on some time.
Personally I think that it’s highly questionable to have border guards dictating my reading material. No disrespect intended, I’m all for them taking a peek if they must. Some fine reasons from content actually unlawful as is outlined in the laws, to the possibility that there might be something other than books inside. Yes yes it’s their job to be nosy.
But there’s a difference between what’s actually illegal [gay porn & erotica Is NOT Inside Canada] and what just makes the customs officer a little hot under the collar.
What sort of ridiculously lame excuse do they have for not doing their job at parliament and simply bring them in line with the rest of the country’s laws on the issue? Or would we be threatening someone’s supply?
There is a 2002 documentary about the BC store’s fight with customs by AERLYN WEISSMAN. And you can read more here about Little Sister's battle with customs and the government, which has been going long and strong now for 13 + years!
