Regarding being over allowable imports into Canada.
I think CBSA figures it's better to be a little forgiving on a few ounces or liters or dollars worth of goods, than waste your time and theirs sending you to secondary for further inspection and tax/duty paperwork. If you're way over the limit expect to pay duty/tax on it, but don't be surprised if you just get waved through. Like dealing with CBP going the other way, it depends on which CBSA BSO you get on any given day.
We cross weekly, and usually get waved through upon our return, after only being out of Canada for a few hours. We're always honest about what we have on board. We typically can bring back around $200 worth of stuff, and a small amount of beer or wine, but no liquor. We always have our receipts ready in hand, if asked, and are always ready and expect to pay duty/tax.
Polite and respectful helps. ;)
