I disagree on the easy into Canada part....On our way to Quatsino last week, I was stopped at the border. We declared 3 bottles of liquor, 2 bottles of wine, and 3 cases of beer (for two adults).

The guy at the border was a real *****, tore the boat and truck apart, pulled apart all tackle bags, coolers, etc, put nothing back...then charged me 56 canadian for the duty on my alcohol.
