I don't know... Here is the governemnt statement (without the newpapers spin).

http://www.ec.gc.ca/default.asp?lang...0-C045DC876E8D

14 charges sounds pretty serious to me... Including "Four charges were laid for allegedly providing false or misleading information with respect to the imports, and for providing false or misleading statements to an officer."

20,000 lbs of liverock with no permit is a pretty big deal.

Personally, I don't believe anything I read in the Sun. They seem to be after catchy headlines and many articles contain errors and inaccuracies. One of the Sun's features includes a semi naked chick That alone describes the quality of the newspaper.

Yeah I second that, If you look how newspapers run their ads you release who they are geared to. Hence all the car ads and sports in the sun...along with the girl. Newspapers are run to what their advertisers want, hence the ability for long term advertisers to affect stories and content...hmm..

They are females...though i guess if you pose for a newspaper you could be called a chick

I hope for Jayson's sake it turns out to be a clerical error and he wasn't misleading investigators on purpose, if that is in fact what happened. Be a black stain on the whole industry unfortunately.

I saw that too.

I still have the same issues though with the news articles. For the most part, they're making it sound like it's illegal to sell any of this stuff ... and people who don't know any better will think ill of the hobby in general. Whatever the outcome of this, it's a serious blow to the reputation of our hobby.
