There’s a new government initiative to ‘help’ us called CARM, which kicks into effect in May. Details at CBSA…

Good Luck.

Reagan said the nine scariest words to hear were "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you".

Yeah, but I dislike him a lot so couldn't resist. Arrivescam and CBSA are joined at the hip so some rubs off. Sorry for the politics.

My package from UPS in the end came through in the normal way. With their significant fees.

The phone call I got from UPS saying I had to do x-y-z in order to receive my package of 4 1oz bottles of fancy CA glue seems now to have been a vaguely extortionishstic effort to sign me up as a UPS account holder and pay even more money.

That said, it does seem things are shifting at the border.

I feel under qualified to comment properly but the information is searchable at CBSA…

Now! Now! If we can't bash our "Heroes" on the forum the Canadians shouldn't be allowed to bash theirs either. laughing6-hehe bliss
Now UPS on the other hand - You can bash those S.O.B.s all day long! [:Y:]
