Never come between a Canadian and his beer. That’s a simple truth a rueful province of New Brunswick might one day regret having ignored.
In 2012, Gerard Comeau of Tracadie-Sheila drove across Chaleur Bay to Quebec and loaded up his vehicle with 14 cases of beer. He turned around and headed back to New Brunswick, where he was immediately pulled over by the RCMP.
It was a sting. The Mounties seized Mr. Comeau’s beer and fined him $292.50 under a provincial law that prohibits individuals from bringing large quantities of out-of-province alcohol across the New Brunswick border.
