should everyone discharge, not overfill and maybe fully secure their cans? sure. dunno if everyone has the means to own a pickup or will bother with a hitch rack..for them it's the near-theoretical risk they should maybe at least be aware of
if people are not breaking the transport canada limit, is it even worth your effort to gatekeep

I stand by my opinion that hauling and storing bulk fuel in loose jerrys isn't smart, whether you're doing it to save a few bucks or not. i see an opportunity for CBSA to lower the amount for personal import and increase safety in doing so. if that's gatekeeping so be it.
Did you know you're limited to 1 jug/25L of gasoline to ride any BC ferry? Interesting that TC considers ~12% of the border import limit to be the dangerous good limit...
