    Port Credit Pets, Pet Mart, and Big Al's on Dundas (all in Mississauga) sell PAM. As well, vendors at the Ontario Reptile Expo sell them from what I've seen.
    BTW, I wasn't getting upset with you. I just didn't understand how it wasn't legal for sale in Canada if I've seen it everywhere. I know pesticides are illegal in Ontario now, I just wasn't aware it should affect something like PAM

    well the active ingredient in pam is classified as a prohibited pesticide. so i dont know :( i emailed big als as i have ordered other stuff from them and they told me that they did not think they sold it in Canada and they were not aware if it was in fact legal at this point in time and asked me to contact a store directly. however, the stores don't ship i think. im not sure. next time im in your neck of the woods im stopping at big al's and buying a few cans if they have it. cuz shipping it over the boarder sucked large.

    I can always send you some if you need it, just let me know; shipping should be cheap from here. I go to those stores on a regular basis. Or, if you're hitting up the expo on the 14th, grab some.

    It's just my advice, but if you guys are going to engage in potentially illeagal acts, you may not want to air them in public. I personally don't care, but I don't think it is wise.

    it may not be illegal if its not used as a pesticide out side in public, and if infact its legal for sale in canada (PMRA aprroved). which appears i may be incorrect in the information that i have gotten that its illegal. im trying to figure out more info on this. the arrangement for her to send me some is strictly for geographical reasons, not because im trying to thwart the laws on this. if it is infact illegal.

    Since the legality of the product is in question, I would assume that shipping illeagal items within the country, or even exporting them would be illeagal. Since I am not from Canada, and don't know the laws very well, I will keep my mouth shut from here on out.

    My apologies for anyone that took offense,

    nah no offense taken no worries. just my discussion here is based on the assumption i can obtain it in canada legally. if i cant then nothing ive said in relation to having pandora ship me some is not going to happen.

    The instructions for PAM are the same. Thanks Mark, I use the same thing, but from Wal Mart, different brand. In Fact there 17 Brands all from the same manufacturer.
