The larger issue is that Canada does not stop un-protected/poorly protected lithium batteries from entering and being used in the country. The 'e-transportation' market is flooded with dangerously cheap batteries and there is really no way for normal people to identify them. If there were some import control business wouldn't all be terrified of batteries exploding.

I agree with this. Hopefully CSA standard certification can help with that respect, but requiring it to be submitted by the passenger is yet another barrier to travel for people with disabilities.
