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.

Hi Pockchop,
Often I see pictures in this forum of players with Canadian military chiefs of origin and not dwvo say whether I used objects, new objects, legally or illegally detained (depending on your law), none of these have ever been told they hold material stolen.
The only thing that I saw for sure is that my nickname and some photos not posted in this forum were used in the forum of the Canadian army indicating me (maybe not espicitamente) as a receiver or as a legally be pursued (at the end I have confined myself to buy various uniforms that I found in a shop in Stuttgart and take other in various auctions on ebay).
Sorry then if you say that you are essentially false, and if I repeat that I do not want more see my nickname associated with the name cadpat view the unequal treatment.
However, for those who accused me (even without information on the origin of the objects in my possession) would be curious to know why the time I was the one to pursue (I went to Stuttgart 4-5 times a year and, given my interest in the ojects military passed in many shops surplus), not perhaps your military that is moving from Germany resell or exchanged their material with a manager of the approximately 100 stores ojects military Corsican main Stuttgart or those put up for sale on e-material bay?
