You are an expert? you must be young to say that. For your information, in the 80' governement banned few products bc it was destroying the ozone layer. So before saying something that you dont know, do your homework.
@@chauffeurmarco been there, done that, and yes Ozone layer and banning CFCs is one of the greatest success stories of humanity at large. On the other hand, banning 1oz hobby lacquer paints is a grandiose overreach of government and comes to show how ineffective and wasteful it can be instead of solving real problems aka plastic pollution and trashing the planet. But no, saving the planet one 14ml hobby paint jar at a time. One small step for the government, one fing giant leap..oh never mind..So Waaah to that.
The % of environmental impact Canadian hobbyists have , must be so small.... it's incalculable . It's a fraction of a droplet..... in an ocean of offenders .
Why only the spray paints though? Is there an agent (propellant maybe?) in them that is forbidden, that is absent from the bottled paints? And why are some colours still permitted?? So confusing.
@@stochasticpixel It was originally only spray cans. All of them. Now it includes lacquer thinner and gold enamel(?). So it must be an ingredient, not the propellant. Several spray colours apparently tested okay for the amount of objectionable substance. It appears the tests are ongoing.

We the government didn’t get enough of a $ cut from a manufacturer for a new product coming into Canada🙄 Health Canada does something similar for medical products…pay them a ton of $ for approval or not selling in Canada. And Canadians suffer yet more. Thanks for the notice👍🏻
Testors is not available in Canada, unless you import it from the US yourself. Testors was too lazy to make a bilingual label for Canada, which is why their product is no longer available here.
Testors stopped making paint years ago. Except for basic colors in 1 oz bottles the good stuff they used to make hasn’t been produced for a long time. You can still find their awesome flat lacquer, it’s made by Rustoluem who bought the rights to produce some of Testors paints but it’s impossible to find.
@johnbrubaker2033 Rustolieum didn't buy Testors or any rights. RPM bought Testors back in the early 90s, and then bought Rustolieum in the early 2000s. Both factories were across the street from one another, and Rustolieum having the larger more modern facility, manufacturing of Testors paint was moved to the Rustolieum factory across the street. Rustolieum has been making Testors paint since the mid 2000s, just only recently they started putting "made by Rustolieum" on the product. Doesn't change the fact that they stopped importing Testors products into Canada, because they were too lazy to do a bilingual label for products that come here. Any place that you see Testors in, they have to import it themselves from the US as Testors can't ship their product into Canada, without a bilingual label on it. Yes, lots of Testors products were discontinued, but there is still a great number of them available in the US
Is it just TS sprays, or AS too? I've noticed that AS20 (Insignia White) has been out of stock for months at my usual retailer (in New Zealand), and I bought the last three cans at another store. They were both out of Flat Black too. I use a ton of Tamiya spray, and it would pretty much destroy my hobby if they ban it here.
Meaning no disrespect but you really ought to visit the local hardware store where one can purchase Acetone, Laqure thinner and Varsol in liter cans... And most nail polishes and removers contain either acetone or toulane. My point is that hobbyists are any easy identifiable group to provide the Government a visible target so they can show they are doing something. The fact these new regulations have no effect whatsoever on the actual problem of far too many dangerous chemicals entering the environment means nothing to government beaucrats or politians. How about the toxic embalming fluid the funeral industry pump into the water table annually? Ah... the funeral industry Paul taxes and have lobbyists and one wouldn't want to annoy the voters who mistakenly believe all dead people must be embalmed. I take you point... I just think these regulations are more about the Politicians being seen to do something that actually doing anything substantial about anything.
Did you ever actually see the hole in the ozone, or are you going by what you were told? I learned quite some time ago (when I was deployed with the USAF) that unless I saw it with my own eyes I wasn’t going to believe it.
Banned since 2010 lol it took them 14 years to get around to dealing with that lol what is there just 2 people working at enviroment Canada or have we cluster fucked ourselves so bad with everything today....HAHA
There are people getting paid salaries for finding anything that they can rattle their cages over and justify their jobs for. What surprises me is the lack of concern that is shown for this centuries new asbestos hazard called carbon fibre. There are folks out there cutting drilling and abrading this cancerous material completely unaware of the risks they are running not only with their lives but others around who come into contact with this highly hazardous material
I’m Canadian and I’m VERY glad that toxic paints are being banned. If a company can reformulate to make it safer they should. Only Americans fight to keep products MORE toxic. Kids use these paints for gods sake.
I am also and I am not. I believe that personal responsibility should be a priority over government nanny state. If you feel your kids are at risk, then please find alternatives. However, for many of us adults who are able to use paints responsibly, I would rather the government get out of my hobbies.
@@crazylegsmurphythen move to a third world bleep-hole where you’ll get zero nannying, including functional courts, police, roads, and everything else you take for granted while bitching about “da gubmint”. You’re not the rugged individual you keep telling yourself you are. Only a terminally online 13 year old acts like they know more than experts.
Thanks for keeping us up to date!
This is what I love about social media, connecting with everybody in the hobby.
Thanks for keeping us on top of this issue, Bill.
So! Fun, art, and responsibility are slowly being outlawed.
Awe, I was having so much fun paying a carbon tax. What a joke
Perhaps this answers my question. Here in florida the red oxide primer has been backorder for over a year
Thanks for this update: clear, concise and current.
Outright ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing the update!
Government attempting to solve problems where there are none while not focusing on what really matters.
Don’t forget the convicted criminal I appointed to be Minister of the environment, he’s a good communist just like me .
"I can't breathe in carcinogens! Waaaah!"
Or, maybe trying to solve problems before they get out of hand . . . like an adult does (or should).

Now they can fly their private jets a bit more often.
Don't worry, Canadians paying a carbon tax will solve climate change
I have use tamiya rattle cans since the 70's, so now there is a problem.?
Look who is in charge and ask yourself if it is in your best interest for that to continue to be the case.
Why only the spray paints though? Is there an agent (propellant maybe?) in them that is forbidden, that is absent from the bottled paints? And why are some colours still permitted?? So confusing.

Well hasn’t this turned Sour 😢.
Does this mean the Tamiya bottled line of lacquer paints is going away too?
No word on that at this time.
We the government didn’t get enough of a $ cut from a manufacturer for a new product coming into Canada🙄
Health Canada does something similar for medical products…pay them a ton of $ for approval or not selling in Canada. And Canadians suffer yet more.

Oh no, Canada
Will you be bringing in any Testors rattle cans?
Not at this time. We opted to stop carrying them because of the ridiculous price they were charging. We do however stock Revell spray paints.

Great country you have there. Talk about government overreach.
Is it just tamiya or is it other brands like mr. Hobby as well
Just Tamiya at this time. It would be interesting to know if the Mr Hobby products have been tested.
Is it just TS sprays, or AS too?

@@drewlovelyhell4892 It was initially on all sprays, primers, TS, PS, AS. 4 TS and a number of PS have been passed by environment Canada.
That's probably the plan. Will styrene plastic be next ....after all it comes from that evil oil.
Just tell your Dear Leader the paints are for painting the Pride Flag.
lol. Then they'll be given out for free.
Nice one, but sad
The laws are 20 years old. This isn’t new regulation, for whatever reason Tamiya was just being overlooked or misleading regulators until now.
This world is going to shits 💩
Brought to it by one very small %
Just the liberal gouge of our freedoms
It’s all about money
Sounds like stupid is contagious...Fight this type of government overreach
Chemistry, there is something in their mix that is not allowed.
You are correct sir. To be sold in Canada this needs to be fixed, if Tamiya wants to. Indications so far are that they do.
I hope you all remember there was (is?) a hole in the ozone layer.

@leeenfield4900 that is undoubtably true. But if the gov't did nothing about anything we'd prob still have leaded gasoline, no?
@clydesuckfinger8068 it'd be hard to see a hole in the ozone.
@ So since you personally never saw it, how do you know it was there?
Good luck pointy head bureaucrats .
Canada is getting so annoying to live here.
Better than most
🤣sketchy , shady dark ally marketplace deal to get your Tamiya fix
Banned since 2010 lol it took them 14 years to get around to dealing with that lol what is there just 2 people working at enviroment Canada or have we cluster fucked ourselves so bad with everything today....HAHA
Recall Turdo and his communist pals.
How can u not see they are fans of the austrian painter, so many confused still.
This isn’t his. The laws have been around for 20 years. Someone just finally caught up to Tamiya disregarding them.
lol
