Hi McTaz,
I just wanted to point out that the laws of Italy that govern the wearing of uniforms in Italy only apply in Italy, just like the laws of Canada only apply in Canada ( here) or to people subject to Canadian law.

Anyhow, technically speaking the wearing of most uniforms without authority is not permitted in Canada, not only Canadian Forces uniforms.

Here is the section of the Criminal Code of Canada:

Unlawful use of military uniforms or certificates
419. Every one who without lawful authority, the proof of which lies on him,

(a) wears a uniform of the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force or a uniform that is so similar to the uniform of any of those forces that it is likely to be mistaken therefor,

(b) wears a distinctive mark relating to wounds received or service performed in war, or a military medal, ribbon, badge, chevron or any decoration or order that is awarded for war services, or any imitation thereof, or any mark or device or thing that is likely to be mistaken for any such mark, medal, ribbon, badge, chevron, decoration or order,

(c) has in his possession a certificate of discharge, certificate of release, statement of service or identity card from the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force that has not been issued to and does not belong to him, or

(d) has in his possession a commission or warrant or a certificate of discharge, certificate of release, statement of service or identity card, issued to an officer or a person in or who has been in the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force, that contains any alteration that is not verified by the initials of the officer who issued it, or by the initials of an officer thereto lawfully authorized,


is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
R.S., c. C-34, s. 377.


Make of it, what you will.
