Arsenal confiscated in Canada!

Some weapons were visible to police when the looked in the car, and they eventually removed a crossbow, five arrows, a sledgehammer, a pick-axe, a chainsaw, and a baseball bat. A gasoline canister, cola bottle and water container were tested by the hazardous materials team, but the substances inside were deemed harmless.

Is any of that illegal?
 
A motley crue of items normally not scary when they are in their respective spots in the house....but all in one spot?

Way to go, I fee a lot safer that a poor person has been taken off the streets and humiliated. Who ties a bumper on, the man is a menace!
 
At the present time in the back seat of my truck I have a cordless Sawzall that looks suspiciously like a SBR with a bayonet. I have a couple of hammers, chisels and a circular saw. The saw may be innocent enough but the 28 volt battery looks a lot like an infernal machine. In addition I have a cordless driver/drill that looks (to the trained eye) a lot like a large caliber hand gun. I have a large drill index that is the spitting image of a box of ammo.

I don't think I will risk getting caught with this arsenal. I'm staying home tonight.

The poor guy was probably just cleaning out his garage. Except for the crossbow they just inventoried mine and everyone else I knows garage or shed. I'm just glad he wasn't in possession of a rusted ten speed or some dried up paint cans. And by the grace of god no pre ban garden shears were discovered; rose bushes will sleep well.
 
Seems he was a security consultant.
epiphani writes "Byron Sonne, of Toronto, was arrested today by a task force of around 50 police officers associated with the G20 summit taking place this week. An independent contractor, IT security specialist and private investigator, he had notable ties to the Toronto technology and security communities. According to friends and associates, he had been purchasing goods online and speaking with security groups about building devices to collect unencrypted police broadcasts and relay them through Twitter, as well as other activities designed to test the security of the G20 summit. By all accounts, it would appear that Mr. Sonne had no actual malicious intent. In Canada, the summit has been garnering significant press for the cost and invasive nature of the security measures taken." "By all accounts" may not be quite right; the charges against Sonne, exaggerated or not, involve weapons, explosives, and intimidation.

ETA: Stupid is as stupid does.
 
A scruffy white dog was also in the car at the time of the arrest.

Holy shit! I'm glad no one was mauled to death.

On a related/retarded note... Canada has recently been importing some really nice Chinese and Russian SKS rifles for sale to Canadian residents while the US currently has a ban on semi automatic firearms imported from China and Russia.
 
The guy was probably a friggin' arborist. I'm not sure how the pros do it now, but way back when we'd use a crossbow to fire a line into a tree. I think you can figure out the rest of the stuff he had. Poor bastard must have felt like he was in Massachusetts. Lucky the poor dog didn't get shot.
 
"a crossbow, five arrows, a sledgehammer, a pickaxe, a chainsaw, and a baseball bat. A gasoline canister, cola bottle and water container"
Sounds like he was going to do some work on the cabin. Sheesh. Canadians - go figure eh? [thinking] They must be really against High Fructose Corn Syrup, it IS dangerous you know.

I give up. Living in Massachusetts, I long ago gave up attempting to divine the laws on the basis of reason, but I couldn't see what he was actually charged with in any of the stories, and certainly couldn't come up with anything reasonable. OTOH, I can easily understand why he might have appeared disoriented upon his arrest. "WTF?!? What planet am I on? Is there some law against cola bottles? Or is it the dog that I'm being arrested for? Wait just a minute! I get it. Where's the camera? Where's Alan Funt? Or is this something involving Terry Gilliam and John Clesse?"
