Border crossing- Bear spray?
This summer we will be traveling from Glacier N.P. to Banff. I was wondering if we will have any problems with carrying bear spray at border crossings.

FYI. Not withstanding the picture on the can, when in danger 9 out of 10 people claim to have use ANYTHING at their disposal- even when the attacker was of the 2 legged variety.
Services for the other 1 out of 10 is to be held on Thursday! :W
Pepper spray takes a few moments to take effect. If you are sprayed, DO NOT BLINK OR RUB YOUR EYES!
If you need to remain situationally aware, hold your eyes wide open afterwards and do not blink. Your eyes will water plenty enough and blinking will only put more irritant in your eyes.
Do not scream or take big deep breaths. Suck air between gritted teeth with your lips wide like you are baring your teeth like an angry animal.
Stay calm and remember it WILL hurt and you WILL live (from the spray, can't promise the 'bear' part!)
The downside is you never know when you're going to run into a Cajun Bear. They like their food extra spicy! :D
