If they do find that kind of illegal material in your possesion (weed in the car, or illegal porn on your phone), you're going to be arrested.

If they find evidence that you are likely to be involved in those things (texts on your phone about buying drugs, or doing something else illegal) then they can deny you entry (Canadian citizens not withstanding), that's their job.

See, you keep saying that if they want to be cops they should be held to the same requirements (search warrants). What you fail to realize, and what the court system in Canada has confirmed, is that they aren't cops, and are not held to the same requirements.
Apparently they are
