There is a file on this instance with the RCMP. In Courtenay, British Columbia, there was a person making the counterfeit PAL, and apparently according to the source I talked to, he did a better job than the federal job. They were much more authentic. That being said, British Columbia is a hub for marijuana and other things. It's also a hub for its sport shooters. However, I am not aware of where those went. That's up to the RCMP.
