OK, so after googling and looking at RMR's site that HOOT linked to, it seems that while radar jammers are illegal everywhere, the radar
scrambler is legal:

The FCC regulates all consumer products that transmit or leak radio frequency into the air. (Part 15 of the FCC code) Since the scrambler and the scrambler portion of the combination units do not transmit but merely act as a reflective receiver they are legal under the FCC regulations; the receiver portion of the combination units are FCC Certified. Regarding the laser scrambler, there are no Federal laws against transmission of infrared light, so the laser-scrambling portion is legal as well. And all the units have an FCC label on the bottom.

Obviously the FCC does not have jurisdiction in Canada, but it explains why these devices are legal.
I thought only radar detectors were legal, and not the scrambler/jammer devices.
I have no reason not to get one now.
Do they sell these at vision's or other electronics stores in Calgary, or do you have to buy it online?
