That leads me to believe that every single fish store in canada is in violation.

Wonderful...

That makes zero sense. They shouldn't be inspecting portable equipment in the first place.
Also UL or ULc listed, among others, are fine in Canada. But again, portable equipment so why are they looking? If it's anything it'll be the fire inspector that will look for that.

I'm a jman sparky, and while not an inspector I know more than most of them. I hate having to do the inspectors job.

If you want me to have a peek at the report they gave you so you can rebut it just send it over to me
