RANT against application of a bad knife law in Canada

Folder knives that can be opened via centrifugal force are illegal in Canada. That is any knife that can be opened without touching any part of the blade all the way to engage in locking position by only holding onto the frame or scales of the knife and applying centrifugal force.
The way this law is being enforced is not in accordance with the spirit or intention of the lawmakers who put the law in, but against any knife that an officer can open that way. The law was intended to keep out balisong knives and the like, not to keep out folder knives that by some exquisite skill one specific officer can accomplish the opening task.
Here is a list of carriers that are customs bonded and can ship your knives out of Canada to another location like USA. You are responsible to confirm this with your carrier of choice.
I would like to thank Bruce aka "bdpf", who has his own knife review channel, for this list. Check him out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMfZo9iwGtXDznrRmWg0b
