Petition to stop the CBSA from stealing your folding Knives!

It already failed. Government posted FU response already.

Yeah, the petition was closed for new signatures a few months back and, as guess_kto says, it went nowhere at all.... That said, the legal challenge is still pending and needs support. That link still works fine.

Kershaw's are now illegal to open carry or just to import?

What a coincidence that i saw this post today. I receiver a letter from the CBSA about a notice of seizure. They apparently seized a "Butterfly knife" in December. First of all i didn't buy a butterfly knife as i know that they are illegal in Canada. I called them right away and the agent said that i have to appeal asap because i only had 90 days from the day of seizure to appeal. So not it has been over 90 days, and one of the consequences of not appealing in time is that i might/will be put on a no fly list and wont be able to leave the country. This is silly because how could i have filed an appeal within 90 when they send me that letter almost 4 months later? I hope they don't screw me over as i want to go to America to see family for Easter!!!!

This ruling only applies to the Canadian Border Services so it just relates to importation. Knife stores here still sell them (for now) and people still carry them. The actual law has not changed, just the CBSA's interpretation of it has (thanks to the CITT).

That said, who knows if this ruing may end up being trotted out in court to justify an overzealous search/seizure and arrest... Speculation of course but completely possible I suppose.
