And boy were they stuffed, they say, with 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of cocaine.
Border agency officers at the Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport found the pumpkins while searching the luggage of a female traveler, according to a news release.

Ping.
Well, we know where Marion Barry is going for Thanksgiving, now.
“Why, yes I will have another piece of that Canadian pumpkin pie. What’s that special spice you put in it?”
“I’ve never seen a man snort pumpkin pie before.”
She don’t fly ,she don’t fly ,she don’t fly...cocaine.
Don’t roast the pumpkin seeds. If you do roast them don’t salt them.
Isn’t flying with pumpkins suspicious enough on its own?
Now we know why Linus was hanging out in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Pumpkin.
Squash is a gateway vegetable.
For some reason I read the title as “Pumpkins found filled with coriander (Canada).”
That would be a lot of coriander.
Canada Ping!
I’ll be honest, I had to look up what coriander is. And I have no idea why anyone would be smuggling a parsley like plant in a pumpkin. Cocaine, on the other hand ...
I know it well, because it is often overused in Sonoran Mexican food, and it is quite potent. Coriander fruits, that look like seeds, and cilantro, another name for the leaves, can really overwhelm a dish if not used judiciously.
As a trivia bit, some people have a genetic difference that makes it taste unpleasant and soapy, so they are extra careful about eating it.
If you filled a pumpkin with coriander fruits, it would weigh about twice as much.
There’s, like, what: Fifty signs, notices and forms that say:
YOU MAY NOT BRING FRUITS VEGETABLES PLANTS FOODS INTO CANADA
You’ve just got to be one dumb-ass douchenozzle to say:
GEE I GUESS I’LL SMUGGLE SOME COKE INSIDE THESE PUMPKINS
Idiot. Canadian Thanksgiving was October 14.
