Re: Please Support This Cause
Unfortunately, Sal, just like the NRA, American organizations have no influence on what's happening in Canada, from a political standpoint. If they are putting on a drive to ask the U.S.A. knife community to contribute, that is great. If so, can you share some links here? Thank you :)

Sal, Can you sway U.S.A. Dealers?
Sal, Please read, and hopefully you can help the cause.
I inquired about buying a Spyderco Delica 4 Zome S30V, from a U.S.A. dealer:
Me:
----
"Hello,
I have done a lot of research, and I’m confident that Canada Customs will allow this knife to come through their system, because of it’s locking configuration.
Please advise, ASAP (before your inventory runs out), that you are willing to ship one of these to my address. I will take full responsibility, if the knife is seized, and not hold you liable, in any way, shape or form.
Thank you very much,
Sincerely,
XXX"

"Hello,
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
Unfortunately, I have indefinitely suspended shipping folding knives to Canada. I understand you are willing to take responsibility for the shipment and I agree, this will probably pass through customs, but it just isn’t going to happen. Hopefully, this mess with Canadian customs will get resolved soon.
Thanks again,
XXX"
My response:

"XXX,
Your decision only enables the unlawful ruling that a government department has established, when their only role is to enforce laws set forth by a government consisting of actual voted in individuals.
We Canadians can sign a petition, to tell our government what we think, and contribute to Go Fund Me, to help lawyers fees, to try to help our cause.
Another way to show we are not going to just sit back, is to keep buying knives from the USA, when they are not available in Canada.
In disagreement with your decision,
XXX"
