Sounds like some of you resemble Denny Crane in Boston Legal - remember that TV show where Denny is played by William Shatner?
"Denny Crane: You're one of those environmental lawyers?

Denny Crane: They're evildoers. Yesterday it's a tree, today it's a salmon, tomorrow it's, "Let's not dig up Alaska for oil because it's too pretty." Let me tell you something, I came out here to enjoy nature, don't talk to me about the environment."
Seriously, why carry all that extra weight hauling wood of questionable usefulness? Something I fail to understand.

No Apis species existed in the New World during human times before the introduction of A. mellifera by Europeans.....
Species of Apis are generalist floral visitors, and pollinate a large variety of plants, but by no means all plants. Of all the honey bee species, only A. mellifera has been used extensively for commercial pollination of crops and other plants. The value of these pollination services is commonly measured in the billions of dollars. Bees collect 66 lb of pollen per year per hive.

So in Canadas Provincial parks the rangers or other management has the time to record how many bundles of overpriced wood you buy?
Then they have some way of determining how much you burnt per night and if you exceed the quota the wood police show up?
PA DCNR Resource news, 8-9-17
If you click one of the links in the news letter you are taken to an internet newsletter by an internet gardener named George Weigle. He says that the EAB moves East and South by "Moving Firewood and Flight". I'd bet more on the flight aspect LOL.

The key in that is two words, 'lumber' and 'stamped'.
Once it's little short pieces you're not going to convince a beaurocrat that's something you're going to use for construction. Now you can *try* to convince them that you brought a face cord of scraps for levelling your rig. Good luck.
Then they say 'ok, it's kiln dried, shows the stamp on each piece.'........... Ooops.
Then they say 'It's firewood and under our regulations it's prohibited to transport it in a regulated area, so we'll have to seize it.'
Just find a local vendor near the park you want to stay in and buy some firewood.
Be aware though, most Provincial and Federal parks prohibit ANY outside firewood, and they know the drill, you're not the first one to find a better way. Most sell their firewood in specially labelled bags, and record which site bought how much firewood, if the park ranger catches you burning bootlegged wood you'll face a fine and likely be ousted too.
The folks at the site next to us at Lake Superior Agawa Bay park last year got tossed, with no refund, for exactly that.

There are private campgrounds here in PA that require you to buy the firewood they purchase and bundle themselves, then overprice, under the guise of invasive insect regulations and quarantines. Some buy their wood at the same sawmill I buy mine from. I can't bring mine but we will sell you ours from the same vendor at double the price. This sawmill cuts timber in 4 other states and brings it back to PA to the mill, the smaller timber gets cut and split into firewood. I can not legally cross state lines with hardwood firewood, they can because they have a piece of paper. Craigslist is full of firewood vendors who ignore any regulations which are not enforced in any way. The only place I have seen any regulation enforced is at privately owned campgrounds.
The Emerald Ash Borer invaded PA in 2007 resulting in a rolling quarantine by county. By 2015 it was detected in almost every county in the state. I highly doubt campers and their firewood had much to do with it. No way are the bureaucrats going to go after the real movers, the forest product industry. Simply too much money involved.
PA tells you "Don't move firewood" but does not enforce bringing your own into a PA state park. That whole "dontmovefirewood.org" farce is people who figured out a way to make a living doing essentially nothing, at others expense......lobbyists for the enviroweenies.

Has this wood been any place where insects could attach themselves to it?
But as Gordon says, check with CBSA.
& I'm sure you know CBSA is stretched further than the limit of present staffing levels can go -- given that there are so many seeking to move from the USA to Canada.
I think you might also check Ontario provincial regulations too. ON has limits on camping on crown land and it is a big province. It would not surprise me if there are provincial limits on how far you can travel and use wood.
:C
