“Help keep Canadians safe by contacting the #CBSA Border Watch Line to report suspicious cross border activities,” the message reads.

Examples of the kind of affairs the agency is interested in include drug smuggling, commercial trade fraud, firearms and weapons smuggling and people involved in human smuggling or trafficking.

The CBSA asks for as much information as possible when making an anonymous report.
