The last time I went to Canada, I stopped at an A&W. The prices in Canada were quite a bit higher than in the USA.
On the other hand, I’d be reluctant to buy chicken wings in Canada out of a US cop’s trunk.

“The last time I went to Canada, I stopped at an A&W. The prices in Canada were quite a bit higher than in the USA.”

yes, but one canadian dollar is worth about 22 percent less than our dollar. might that explain the difference in the prices you saw?

now, if the canadian police officer was buying American cheese with canadian money, wouldn’t it cost him more canadian dollars to buy cheese in the states?

i guess it’s still cheaper to buy stateside to avoid the 270% tariff that canada imposes on American dairy products that makes it a desirable item to smuggle, if you can get away with smuggling it across the border?

so if he went to the states to buy a pizza and took it across the border to canada to eat, would he have to declare it at customs and pay 270% of the original purchase price?

lastly, is American cheese far superior to canadian cheese that a person would find it something they would want to try to smuggle?
