Nah, stock up on solar panels, wind generators, inverters and LED/cfl bulbs. That way the man cannot track and control everything you do in your house through the power grid.
Yes - you should stock up on those too - not because of any conspiracy theory, but because the government will likely ban those too.
What conspiracy is there here? A reputable dealer has publicly said:
Is Ryan from SFRC a wing nut conspiracy theorist or is he a respected business within the shooting community?
I say stock up because it's simple supply and demand. The government sets a floor price when they try to control the supply of things - meaning the price for them has to necessarily go up as the available supply decreases. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 4-5 years, what exactly HASN'T the government try to control the supply of? Even garage sales are now illegal.
It's the same with body armour, guns, PMAGS and light bulbs.
I'm just glad I ordered 3 level II surplus vests from SFRC while I had the chance. If this indeed pans out to be the case, I might try to privately sell those vests for 3-4x what I bought them for the way I did with some of the PMAGS I bought 11 for $200 back in December.

Crikey, ain't everyone stocking up on 75 and 100 watt bulbs? They're slated to be banned next January. Get with the program or fill your house/landfills with mercury clad CFL bulbs (the guvmint recently admitted they have no way of handling all that mercury going into the environment).
I'm wit ya, harbl! Been stocking up on all manner of future contraband over the last year.

From my understanding it depends on your provincial rules, but i dont believe you are allowed yo wear it when not "on duty"
Guys, hold on a sec.
This is in regards to a Canadian manufacturer of a controlled good, being regulated to whom they can sell it.
Any vendor on the consoled goods program knows they are only allowed to sell their products to people approved to buy it.
Unfortunately a problem for Canadian made body armour being sold within Canada, but no problem for a foreign company to sell non-controlled product to Canadians.
Should not be a problem for a company to start making body armour for civilian sales and not be controlled-goods registered.
I will get money that when the dust settles, this issue is about that *specific product* only. Ie: it's design and manufacture is based on and intendd for controlled purpose.

The "smart meters" ( for gas, water,and electric use) that are being installed world wide track everything you do in your home. With all the new appliances being "smart" they communicate with the meter and transmit all that info to the power company. All your daily habits can be seen from the time you get up till the time you go to bed. If you get up at 2am to take a leak it will be documented, because the light went on the the toilet was flushed. They will know in the future if you are using such things as 100 watt light bulbs. These meter are the biggest invasion of privacy ever brought on the public and will eliminate the last refuge of privacy we have, our homes! I deal with these meters and am very aware of what they are capable of doing. Do some research on "smart meters" and smart appliances. This is not tinfoil hat stuff it is fact. Sorry for going of topic.

That only applies to the government buying things, not subjects.
You know how to operate a firearm thus, there is no position for you in their brave new world.
After going through this whole thread, it appears to me it may be specific to items that are for Military use and thus manufacturer/item specific. As Ryan said the manufacturer contact him and said that their plates are now a Controlled Good. Furthermore the references posted say “Body armour and protective garments manufactured according to military standards or specifications, or equivalent, and specially designed components therefor.” So I guess the question remains, are all body armour items controlled goods, even if they are made specifically for civilian use? I am no expert, but it does seem odd that these regulations were introduced years ago and no one seems to know about them, provinces have even introduced subsequent legislation. There are still other dealers selling it. How does this make any sense?

People are shot in hunting accidents so we should all be demanding that we need them for our safety when hunting. If one person was to die from a situation there are always people crying that we need new safety measures. It should be a safety device I could use if I feel it could protect me from harm when hunting or shooting at the range.

THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT CARE. The standard question now from the public is, "why do you need_______. just fill the blank with guns, hunting, bullets,jeeps, body armour and what ever else you want. I continue to hear this question every day from family, coworkers, friends, every time i turn on my lap top, tv or iPhone.

Read CAREFULLY. The law APPEARS to relate to export. Read the actual law. ALL body armour falls under it, and I mean, we've never had any bureaucrat driven by an ideological crusade... Right?
Dunno bout you, but this is terrible news.
