I told her that I have every intention of trying to resolve this, but honestly, if this cannot be resolved in other way, then they would simply not get anything out of me and I would stop vacationing in Toronto. She told me that although it is a summons, I don't have to appear if I am admitting guilt to possession. They will simply issue a fine and assume guilt, and send me the fine in the mail. She estimated the fine to be about $160. I am not sure if that is in Canadian or US. I forgot to ask. She re-assured me that they won't issue a warrant for arrest or anything like that, unless the fine, once it is set, is not paid.

What are the Canadians going to do if you don't pay the fine? Send their Mounties over the border?
