I don’t see it frankly. The article doesn’t make a good case for it.

How much commerce does this represent a year? Nearly nothing in the scheme of things.

And what would it be in response to? Why would Canada act first?

Canada holds the same stance on many other items in the firearms industry as well. We manufacture firearm suppressors and export them but normal citizens can’t own one never mind import one. That’s Canada’s current liberal nanny state.

I think this is just a tightening down of freedoms like the recent Swiss Arms debacle and other re-interpreting of laws by unelected bureaucrats because they can as cucktard leaders like Trudeau care way more about fashion and social media image than they do about topics that are of primary concern outside the urban centres and liberal strongholds where the have nearly no votes anyways. Just one more reason people will be voting Conservative again. And if B.C. moves to a representative voting system on the referendum I bet things will start to change without any trade issues being brought up.

Rural people are getting pretty fed up with it. Look at the outpouring of financial support for Gerald Stanley. That should be a pretty clear message.
 
ugh. That's a little too political for my tastes for the continue on with

Quoted from that link:

"That’s because of how much leeway the CBSA can now use.

“In the law they can now go so far as to open the knife halfway and then flick it open, making it inadmissible,” Ostroff said. “Example: Chris Reeve folders. These cannot be flicked or opened by centrifugal force, but if the officer opens it halfway and flicks it, then it can be determined illegal."

Sounds even more ridiculous/draconian than NY laws.

It’s completely insane actually. Part of me thinks they did this to force a change to the law because it points out how stupidly vague it was written like most other nanny state bullshit laws.

If WA wasn’t moving the same direction I would have moved the family there already, and only come across into Canada for work and the family healthcare stuff which I pay for anyways.

Understood. I can’t stand the current argument between rabid packs of political supporters arguing over whose chains they should wear, though I’m not sure it’s new. I just want to be left alone.

I’m pretty sure this will be a voting issue just like the whole Jerusalem issue is already and it will be relatively short lived. I’ve signed the petition and no surprise it was initiated by..... you guesssed it! A Conservative MP from Alberta.
 
Those are difficult stories to believe. Florida may mean a lot of things to a lot people but it sure is knife friendly. When one of our appellate courts found a switch blade to be a prohibited “projectile knife”, the legislature immediately passed a law specifically allowing all switch blades. It’s hard to imagine living in more repressive states.

And we never have to shovel snow!

Nathan (The Evil Genius) and Jo wouldn't simultaneously run the turd sale on this thread and offer another sale on the fixed Blade thread would they? Na, they wouldn't do that........Would they?

The internet is cruel.....but I had fun and got a good laugh from today’s sale.

I was the first post initially and thought to myself, I finally figured this out. Then I glanced over to my position number and saw #13....”Nooooooooooooo”. I knew it was to good to be true and ended up in the recycle bin after another refresh cycle.

Good times.
 
I am convinced there a small amount of random luck in the timing of the F5 refresh. Last week I was timing things the same way and not even in the running on a 20-knife sale. Today I lucked into the #2 spot on a 3-knife sale, all using the same approach.

I am pretty stoked though - a prize EDC2 zombie swedge... whaaat?!!
