Like every other wide-spanning law the Canadian Government has passed lately (including the one on firearms and the soon-to-pass adult-content on the internet), I imagine they will ban swathes of legal products that use RF and do nothing to actually prevent crimes from occurring.

Thanks to our Parliament!

Sort of like banning foreign buyers of homes to cover up the fact that they’ve given into NIMBYs for four decades and not built enough housing to keep pace with the population!

That one was made to 1) Keep happy the voters who don't have housing, by making it look like they're doing something 2) Keep happy the voters who do have housing, by keep the housing costs sky-high

Are they passing a new law or just using the existing one from 1985?
