They told me that radios that tune between 1610 khz and 30 mhz are not
allowed
in Canada, and told me that shortwave radios are not legal in Canada and
told
me that it is ilegal to listen to the international broadcast bands whilee
you're in Canada.

Obviously, these particular borderr patrol agents were familiar with
shortwave
radios to know the terms "international broadcast bands".

They then confiscated my shortwave radio and told me that I would get it
back
from their Canadian authorities when I re-enter the U.S.


Sounds like they stole it off you. Of course it isn't illegal to listen to
SW in Canada - there would be no radio hams or BBC listeners in Canada in
that case and the Sackville TX would be illegal to listen to.
