Default Are scanners legal in Manitoba? A few questions...

Going up to visit Friendly Manitoba for a few days & want to bring the
scanners.

A few questions:


1) Are handheld scanners legal in Manitoba?

2) Are scanners in vehicles legal in Manitoba?

3) If the answer to #2 is 'no', does holding a valid U.S. amateur radio

license
provide a legal exemption? (As is the case in most U.S. states with

mobile
scanner restrictions.)

4) If legal, do scanners arouse suspicion among border guards and create
crossing hassles? (In other words, is it okay to have them out in the

open, or
would it be better if they were packed away when crossing?)

5) What frequencies are used for police/fire/EMS, etc? Same allocations

as
here in the U.S., or different?


Thanks in advance!
