Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Well... You can get them at a Chinese super market as they ignore import laws, and I think they use them for Chinese new year.
At least they only banned firecrackers in your area. Over here it's a BAN on ALL fireworks :cryyy:
I have been looking around trying get score some firecrackers. They have been banned in Canada however I hear they can still be bought from some places. Any Canadians know where to get some mighty mites or black cats or happen to have any they would sell? Or any Americans coming to Toronto anytime soon and want to bring a brick up? (wishful thinking... i know)
I don't know what sparked this interest for me... i just remember my dad was talking about him playing with these as a kid.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaa haaaaaaa.
Are you seriously openly asking an American to try to smuggle explosives across an international border ?
It would be easier to get drugs or weapons ! (Unfortunately, those networks already exist.)
Good luck on anyone posting anything useful. That would incriminate them and you both !
In most jurisdictions across Canada even strongly regulated fireworks are being banned now. (Out here in the BC Vancouver lower mainland area there were only 2 jurisdictions out of 20 or so that allowed the selling last year for Halloween.)
I really can't believe that you posted this thread...

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
All!!?? :wtf:
Nice how our .gov makes these decisions for us. When I was a kid I was lucky,
I had a family member who used to bring them back by the garbage bag in his
truck :san:
@OP, just look into making your own if they are small.. Mind you that in itself is
not legal either :undecided:

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
I really didn't think many people would take the "smuggling" thing seriously, I guess you did.
Thanks for your wonderful input though...:wave:

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Yea, I was thinking of that... but it seems the chemicals needed to make them all come from the US... and i rather not get that stuff shipped to me. I'm not looking for anything like an m-80... just something small like kids used to play with before they were banned.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Im in my mid 30's and for as long as I can remember, even the 'lady fingers'
which I believe you are referring to, were never 'legal' here.. Only roman candles
and airburst type 'shells'.. not even bottle rockets have been available in my time.
M-80's are the last thing you want to play with.. 3 grams or more of flash in
a confined tube can remove fingers..
Speaking of M-80's there is a video I ran across some time back.. Freaky
stuff involving flash powder.. 400lbs of it and an idiot using a drill to 'mix' it.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Yea, apparently they were made illegal in 1972... but i guess if they weren't made illegal then... they would have been made illegal sometime in between then and now. I guess it is all for the best, it would be too easy for minors to aquire them... lots of 18+ shouldn't have them either :eg:
That video is crazy. Scary stuff.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Yeah all the fireworks :cryyy:, 30 minutes drive to the next town that allows them though
To many teenagers firing Roman candles at each other = fireworks ban

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Lol, you know what's funny, I have three friends headed up to toronto in the morning. Almost went myself... If I end up heading your way in the future I'll bring a few small firecrackers.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
Haha, pretty random. But i was really just kidding about that, I don't want to get into a bunch of trouble over some firecrackers.
Besides, if I really wanted them... my dad's office is in NJ and sometimes he drives down instead of flys and im sure I could get him to bring some up for me.
Thanks though :beer:

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
NJ sucks as much as Canada when it comes to firecrackers or anything fun. Tell your dad to go by way of Vermont or down to Pennsylvania.

Re: Firecrackers in Canada
You can always just visit me! Last July I was talking to mariomaster about fireworks and he only had legal ones.... well I made sure when he left my house that he left with a small grocery bag full of illegal ones!

Considering your profession, I can only imagine the kind of "firecrackers" you play with:eg:
