    Lungorthin, go to the CBSA website and file a complaint outlining your issue with the appro legislation of legal knives. If you file a complaint online, a superintendant will get it and they have to respond to your complaint but only if it is online. If you call the border or any of that crap, your complaint will go nowhere. The minute you put it in writing that changes things. Everyone should be doing this when it comes to customs and their importations. Supt's HATE to answer complaints. Especially outline the fact that you have made a legal to purchase item in Canada and that you are a taxpayer. They are public servants and they have to answer lawful complaints. Just be tactful in your writing of the complaint. This will get things moving...depending on what part of the country you are in, there is a backlog at the mail centres. But this is even more of a reason that people should be complaining. That is not your problem and nothing like this should ever be held up.

    As for the petition...signed.

    cheers

    I'll give it a shot. But on their website, an appeal/review says it'll take approx 236 business days... Yikes.

    Is possession banned or just importation?
    Money isn't everthing. It's just something needed to purchase anything.

    Showed 33 days when I filed my complaint...

    I asked for clarification on getting warranty work done outside of Canada on folding knives...

    Be interesting to hear what they've got to say on this matter...

    Importation right now, in their minds. Perfectly legal in Canada.
    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

    But ship-loads of phoney refugees can ignore the CBSA and just march right on in.
