Dave from Military Antiques Toronto goes off in this explosive rant about Canada’s new CARM import system, government bureaucracy, and the outrageous deposit scam that has small business owners across the country furious. After more than 30 years of importing military antiques, collectibles, and historical artifacts across the Canadian border, Dave shares how the government’s latest regulation has turned importing into a nightmare for dealers and collectors alike. 🇨🇦💥
CARM, or whatever acronym the government decided on this time, is supposed to streamline Canadian importation, but in reality, it’s become another layer of red tape and frustration for anyone trying to run a small business. Dave explains how the registration process for CARM took months, how brokers couldn’t figure it out, and how every step was filled with confusion, delays, and wasted time. The result? More bureaucracy, higher costs, and absolutely zero benefit for honest business owners who already pay taxes and duties at the border. 💸📦
The real kicker comes when Dave reveals the new “deposit” requirement. Under the new CARM setup, importers are now being forced to pay a deposit to the government — money that earns no interest and won’t be returned until you close your business. He calls it what it is: legalized theft. Whether you’re importing a single crate of military collectibles or an entire truckload of antiques, the government now wants to hold your money indefinitely, while giving nothing back. For some companies, that deposit can reach half a million dollars! 🚨
Dave breaks down how absurd this is, comparing it to paying for something you never get to use. He points out that importers already pay taxes and duties upfront at the border, through bonded warehouses and customs brokers, meaning there’s no logical reason for the government to demand a second payment. This isn’t about compliance — it’s about control. Ottawa’s CARM program has become another way for the government to grab cash from the hardworking small business community. 🏛️💰
Dave then turns his focus to his own event — The Military Show in Toronto. Hosted at the Legion on Lakeshore, the show offers affordable tables, free coffee and donuts, and an incredible atmosphere for both vendors and visitors. With around 40 tables and low admission, it’s a chance for the community to gather, buy, sell, and trade unique military antiques without breaking the bank. Unlike other overpriced shows, this one is designed for real collectors who appreciate value, authenticity, and connection. ☕🪙
