A Canadian Resident can not drive a car in Canada with American licence
plates. This is a Customs regulation. It is because automobiles are
generally cheaper (until recently) in the US. It is designed to stop
Canadians from buying, licencing and insuring cars in the states and then
bringing them home and driving them regularly. A resident can bring in a car
legally as long as he/she pays duty and taxes at the border.

That is contrary to what I was taught about cabotage and commercial vehicles.
American trucks are allowed to bring loads into Canada, to take loads out of
Canada and to operate point to point as long as they were not carrying a load ,
but could operate point to point if the driver was Canadian.
