Tell you the truth they never really left. If you want them head over to the Indian reserves you can buy a box of M98 I think that's what they are called for $30. They had something there as well that was 'home made' it was a twice the size of a wine bottle cork and they were asking $10 for one.
Not really sure what you would do with them but they are still out there.

I want them back because I would like to celebrate New Year and Chinese New Year with a bit of traditional firecrackers. I have never used them before, I only saw them on youtube and tv. I would think educating the public about fireworks and firecrackers would be better off then just banning it for the black market to thrive.

Your only real option is heading to the Indian reserves (not sure why they get away with having them & making them) As for educating the public about fireworks and firecrackers that is an on going battle. I do see a lot of websites for stores that have a section for Safety but that would be up to the individual to click on and I would bet that most people don't. I would kind of think that 'shock ads' on the TV from the local stations would reach more people and do more then website pages.
I really don't see the firecracker 'ban' changing.

Firecrackers are not authorized under the Explosives Act, thus making importation, possession, transportation, storage, or manufacturing illegal in Canada. Canada banned firecrackers on September 27, 1972 after media reports that two children were killed and three others severely burned when some older children were playing with firecrackers outside their tent. It later came out that the children inside the tent had actually been smoking and, not wanting to tell their parents, had told them they had been playing with firecrackers.Fireworks are still legal to buy for anyone 18 years of age or over.

Actually, You CAN import, transport, and discharge firecrackers in Canada..... with permits. They are allowed with special permission for cultural celebrations. I know one of the companies I work with has used them in the past for Chinese New Years celebrations. But as with anything fun, you have to be licensed and jump through the hoops... Maybe I'll get a chance this year coming up
