If they don't buy it, be prepared to show copies of screen shots taken when you were fare shopping.
OP is a Canadian citizen. CBSA would almost certainly not care, as the OP can stay as long as they please and wherever they want. Similarly, as a Green Card holder, the OP can live anywhere and stay as long as they want. They might well ask where the OP is going, or something of the sort, but still wouldn't be of particular issue.
