I have no idea about such regulations, but we quite happily brought 3 suitcases
and 3 carry-on (between 2 of us), and I am *positive* that at least one of
those suitcases was more than 75 pounds. The only requirement I'm aware of
(not counting specific airline weight/size restrictions) for returning to
Canada is the customs requirments, which essentially is just "pay tax on more
than x amount of duty free".
But then, you undeniably do more travelling than I do.
