They also checked to make sure I wasn't a draft dodger sneaking home. The relationshi p was strange even before NAFTA. The funniest adventure was when a friend and sailed a International 500 yawl from Kittery ME up the coast to St. John NB. We'd been to Grand Manan which is also NB but doesn't have a customs office so we cleared at the St. John harbor. We were low on vital supplies so we asked the nice customs lady where the nearest liquor store was. "You guys just came from the States? You're supposed to smuggle booze into Canada, not buy it here!" I will admit to some smuggling. When setting up a system in Trois Rivieres they'd assigned me a minder since most of the people couldn't speak English and I have no French. He went above and beyond, taking me around town after work so I asked if there was any way I could return the favor. He was fond of Prince Albert which is a US brand despite the name and not available or expensive in Canada. He got his Prince Albert in a can to echo the popular prank call. Canada was always bitchy about tobacco. They confiscated my father's Lucky Strikes on one trip. I didn't smoke until I was in my 20s and strange enough started with Exports in Ontario but in the US reverted to Luckies.
