If you’re clicking it because you want some then I’d recommend doing your own eBay search for them, and taking special care to check that they’re shipping from Canada.

I won’t be creating and maintaining a list of eBay sales in this thread.

Can confirm that some of these eBay sellers list the items incorrectly. Bought a UV-5R a few weeks ago from a seller that listed the item in Toronto but it ended up shipping from China

Worth noting.

I haven't seen these for sale anywhere anymore, are they not allowed to be imported? Could I still buy one from outside Canada and it slip through?

You can still find ads on Craigslist where you can make arrangements to meet some shady dealer selling them out of the back of his truck. More than likely, they'll be counterfeits. Regular stores no longer carry them after a crackdown and visits from ISED in the Spring. Best bet is eBay or something similar.

Baofeng radios are being banned in Canada.

From what I've read Baofeng radios are still legal in Canada as long as they are broadcasting HAM radio frequencies only.

The reason Baofengs are illegal are because they can transmit on more than just the designated amateur bands.

This site has had more new posts from spammers, and less and less posting from members. other than the classifieds not much happening around here anymore it looks.

These spam posts need to be deleted, otherwise the link spammers have won. They need these links to increase their search engine ratings. There is no point in banning them and leaving the posts, it will only encourage them to create more fake accounts and post more spam links.
