the law says you can not as a Canadian citizen enter Canada with a foreign registered, plated and insured vehicle and drive freely for pleasure
your saying the police can not enforce that law? seems a bit off to me?
Again, even though you are now talking about our federales for the first time, no, the RCMP do NOT ‘enforce’ the Excise Tax Act unless requested to do so by the CBSA or CRA to enforce a warrant or as part of an investigation on their behalf.
Enter is one thing, drive freely is another.
“Entry” is up to the CBSA.
“Drive freely” is also up to the CBSA, when is the last time you saw a CBSA officer anywhere but a border crossing or Port of Entry?
Now please, enough, conjecture is just that, laws and regulations under laws are what counts, if you wish to continue this, please quote laws or regulations promulgated under them.
Enter is one thing, drive freely is another
that's my point you said you drove freely and were stopped several time with zero consequence?
why don't hundreds of snow birds do this then ? across Canada?
I guarantee you if a RCMP guy that knows his stuff was to stop you He will fine you, seize your car and impound it
also if you read the actual law your only allowed 30 days in Canada with this vehicle unless you applied to import then u have 6 months to do so
