I have never heard of this either, but yeah... through a quirk in Canadian law, only the crown is allowed to transport liquor between provinces, modulo some exceptions for small quantities: https://constitutional.findlaw.ca/article/how-much-alcohol-can-i-bring-from-another-province/ https://constitutional.findlaw.ca/article/how-much-alcohol-c... I can't legally very much beer or wine back to Saskatchewan when I make a trip to Alberta, even though it's significantly cheaper there. Edit: I knew about the "no transport between provinces" thing, but I didn't know about the receipt thing. I suspect that if you're in Alberta, with Alberta plates, you're not going to have your beer confiscated. If you're in Saskatchewan with Alberta plates, and have a trunk full of beer... they're probably going to suspect you bought it all cheap at home and are bringing it to friends.
