Out West, where many folks go back and forth by road to do their shopping (gasoline is cheaper Stateside, and food is cheaper Northside), there are occasionally roving Customs exit roadblocks about 5 klicks south of the line, mostly checking (so far as I can guess) to see whether young men travelling in groups have their draft papers in order. Canada has now signed a protocol calling on them to refuse any suspected draft-dodgers, and to deport any they subsequently find Northside.
