So, still searching for the principle here.Highly unlikely, yes, but there is a reason for the law.
Is it "criminalise activity that is highly unlikely to cause actual harm to others?"

Something tells me, he's starting to realize just how expensive that costume really is.

So how much more should he have to pay? Not including money.The threats are still inexcusable. I remember an ex colleague fired for lying. I saw him the next picking up his paycheck. I greeted him with a hello and have a good day like any other day. I figured it't not up to me to punish him.
OK, so can we criminalise other types of behaviour that "could cause harm?" That being. . . well, pretty much everything.The threats are still inexcusable. I remember an ex colleague fired for lying.

Dressing up as a police officer is usually not likely to cause harm either, but it has happened that suddenly he got fought up in an car accident and did'nt know what he was doing. The fact that it could cause harm is enough.
Like "He hurt my feelings on the net, I'm going to go eat a pint of ice cream"?OK, so can we criminalise other types of behaviour that "could cause harm?" That being. . . well, pretty much everything.

He got married in the uniform too...chances are everyone around him such as his wife and inlaws thought he had served. Guess buddy is actually from France. He isn't right. We should leave it at that.
Sounds like he might get fired too...
You might have a point. But at present it is illegal. So if it was legalized what would be the harm of every thom dick and harry wearing an elite uniform on remembrance day? Sure a national state of military emergency is not as likely as a car crash that a fake cop could get swept into. But where do we draw the line of likely hood.
Another issue. Recently the military were asked not to put uniforms on in public for their own safety. Maybe not all civilians had read this on the news, but then granted do we protect a person from himself? I don't know the answer?
Then my taxes will help him find another job. Damn him.
You see Tecumseh's bones. We have just identified the harm. The taxpayer!
Getting dressed up in a bad fake of a uniform and going around telling folks you're a war hero.
Julian (veterans affairs guy) says "someone should investigate"
You go numbnuts. 8O
Holy ****, and he's in charge.
I think if he commits a crime while wearing the uniform he should be charged!Having a fake soldier ina real soldier's uniform is obviously a security risk. The uniform is the most basic form of military identification. I don't know what a suitable punishment might be for this fool but he should be made to understand under no uncertain terms that he shouldn't do it again.
My guess is he probably thought he was showing respect. I can't really see any other motive. It's not like he know the CBC would interview him.
Are you ****ing serious ?

Put on a military beret and walk into a bar, see how long you last.
No, just go skiing, it's safer.
