How much can I bring back duty free from a day trip to the USA?

Question

I plan on taking my mother for a day trip to the US and cannot seem to get a straight answer from Customs Canada on this. I would appreciate any input on this. Thanks much!

I don't know how up to date this is, but check here:

It doesn't look like you can bring back much without paying duty.
Here are a few more that look like they say the same thing:
