Canadians and 2257

[emmanuelle]

Ex Post Facto Law - A law that makes criminal an act that was legal when it was committed, or that increases the penalty for a crime after it has been committed, or that changes the rules of evidence to make conviction easier; a retroactive criminal law. A Latin term meaning "after the fact." The state legislatures and Congress are forbidden to pass such laws by Article I, section 9 and 10 or the Constitution.

This is not Ex Post Facto.
The new 2257 law has been released prior to its coming into effect.
You have been clearly and fairly warned.
How you act is now Ex Post of the new law.
There do not seem to be any retroactive provisions in this law as I am aware.
What you have done in the past is not relevant, the law only dictates how you should conduct your biz from a future date.
Sad but true.

The same point I made in another thread a couple of weeks ago.
