It's not a myth, below is a link directly from the BC government website.
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/traveller-information/seasonal/recreation-trailers
about 1/2 way down the page:
Motor Vehicle Act Regulations in B.C. prohibit the operation of vehicles that are unsafe or improperly loaded and exceed either the Gross Axle Rating (GAWR) or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These regulations apply to recreational towing, utility towing and boat towing.
BC GVWR FAQ
I still think most people would be ok as it still has to 'look' overloaded before they will do anything and there just don't seem to be that many cases of it happening.
If it did though it could be a real hassle.
