Just a Sig Op said:Thanks, just curious about the actual wording...
Of particular relevance to people dressing up and playing soldier...
"(a) wears a uniform of the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force or a uniform that is so similar to the uniform of any of those forces that it is likely to be mistaken therefor,"
I'd interpret that to mean that you're perfectly allowed to wear surplus clothing until it reaches a point where you could reasonably be mistaken for a member of the Canadian armed forces...
Red Green wearing a surplus parka, not a crime.
Airsoft player wearing a full uniform, crime.
A thought... perhaps if we were to actively prosecute people for it, having them fined, we could solve budgetary problems?
Just a point but you neglected the most important part of CCC Section 419:
"419. Every one who without lawful authority, the proof of which lies on him,
(a) wears a uniform of the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force or a uniform that is so similar to the uniform of any of those forces that it is likely to be mistaken therefor,"
Even the Reg/Res force members who are issued this kit, by this definition, are not allowed to wear their CAPAT while playing paint ball, unless it is a DND sponsored event (i.e. Adventure Training etc.)
