I am seriously considering moving me and my boat to BC, would remain a US Citizen with "permanent resident status" in Canada. It's pretty bad when the state of affairs makes me feel uncomfortable in my own country.
Can anyone point to a specific instance where a boat was confiscated because of a positive drug swab where drugs where not subsequently found aboard?
