Rachel that was a very enlightening post, thank you for taking the time to write that up.
Granted my knowledge of government regulations and how the ECITA came to be is el zilcho, I'm curious as to why you feel that the average vaper can not contribute or be involved in trying to make a difference. Granted the situation is very different with the CRTC and the big conglomerates, but the general idea of the big telecoms trying to force something down our throats with the backing of the CRTC does conjure up some similarities. Look at how OpenMedia.ca rallied the "tropps" for donations, to sign a petition and to write to their MPs which eventually led the CRTC to review its decision.
Taken from their website:
"OpenMedia.ca operates as a network of member organizations and people who have come together to advance fundamental democratic principles that we feel should guide media, telecommunication and cultural policy making in Canada."
Just like OpenMedia needed funds and support from Canadian citizens to fight the CRTC, a would-be Canadian version of the ECITA would surely benefit from the same kind of structure and financial and citizen support.
Anyway, just speaking my mind here

I have two friends that work at airports in Ontario for Customs inspecting cargo. I'll ask them if they've heard anything. I'm sure that if word was coming down they would have received it as well.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but my one friend that works for Canada Customs confirmed that all ecigs and accessories are banned now. He even turned away his first shipment of non ejuice related product today.
Still waiting to hear from my other buddy.

Okay, spoke to him some more. Health Canada has ordered all ecig related products to be denied at the border. They're not seizing them but are denying entry and returning them to the US.
Sorry for peppering the thread with updates! Last time I promise!

Guess I know what I'm doing on my days off
based on your avatar, I dunno, eating lasagna?
The funny thing is that my one cat (an orange tabby) will actually try and eat my food off my plate if I leave it unattended while watching TV.
Please, don't be sorry for keeping us updated. I for one want to know what is happening, even though I'm incredulous that all this is happening just as I started vaping! I cannot fathom the thought of going to back to analogs. I don't know what to do. I feel very distressed.
Well there are a number of Canadian vendors that have stock so it shouldn't be an issue for a while (just we won't be getting our specialty items from US/Chinese vendors).
The real question (if this actually continues for an extended period of time) will be how long will they have stock for.
Well that doesn't mean that all packages will be denied entry, unless all of a sudden they decide to inspect every single package that comes in which I doubt they were doing before.
If you're not a supplier, then why are you involved?
If you're involved, why can't we be?
After all, you're just a vaper.

think about this, it's not much different than we have allready been dealing with. yes hardware has been exempt, yet they have turned back hardware. juice has always been turned back if they figure it out. so yes we need to still fight to legitimize e liquid in canada, it really isn't much different than it was before. I order juice and hardware together and have had one order returned.
you guys realize lipos are not actually allowed to be shipped due to their structure but millions get shipped in products and on their own all the time. I am not going to let fear dictate things. I'll just keep doing what I've always done and just order early before you run out in case it needs to be reshipped....

My only concern is that if they are now banning everything e-cig related they might begin to scrutinize more shipments from known vendors...
That's right. I was told that not every package will get caught. But he said that you are taking a risk that you won't get your order and/or your money back.
ill donate $ to vendors that are willing to ban together to take legal action .all should have an option on their websites to donate for the legal costs when placing/paying for orders they can pool donations together instead of paying solely out of their own pockets. if the vendors are going to ban together and fight its up to us to help them one way or another
