Unsuspecting Canadians drawn into gun smuggling
Interesting bit on some criminal elements, and how they used unsuspecting Canadians to bring guns across the border.

This was happening with cocaine years ago. Strap a few kilos under a RV containing snowbirds and voila.

Yeah I saw this too, another reason not to buy a Chrysler.
Seems like a pretty hit and miss idea by the smugglers, various times they couldn't get the guns out of the car once they were in Canada or they couldn't get at the car because it was locked in a garage, etc.
I thought the usual way of doing it was to take a speed boat across the St. Lawrence River. Or smuggle through a reservation: Canada's boom in smuggled cigarettes | Center for Public Integrity
