Clearly it's not being received well but unfortunately governments do put the onus on individuals to proactively do their research before travelling, whether you think that's reasonable or not. Definitely easy to forget or overlook if you're not used to travelling.

In Canada, here is official government information related to travelling abroad with medication.

Near the end it reads:

Understand that you’re subject to the laws of any country you’re visiting:

  • It’s your responsibility to know and abide by local laws.
  • Being a Canadian citizen does not protect you from prosecution, and consular officials can’t get you out of jail.
