I reiterate, this is the *Canadian government* we're talking about. Y'know,
the one whose motto is "We never met a transaction we couldn't tax, or a
citizen's pocket we couldn't pick." The onus on you is to prove that it's
returned property -- supposedly, you're required to contact 'em beforehand,
fill out forms, blah blah blah.

P.S.: Besides, they'd know it was fake if you said "leave something good
behind, like a case of Molsons." Molsons is crap. Now, Big Rock or Granville
Island, on the other hand, THAT'S beer! ;-)
