At least I'm pretty sure they (the cable companies) won't be able to use anything they got there in court.

But let's be real for a moment, that man, if he sues, will get absolutely nothing in return.

Still, it's about time Canada starts getting real laws.

This and the people held hostage without AC or water in a plane for 5 hours+ is a proof at how backward this country really is.

That's quite a bit of hyperbole to say those two cases represent a "backward country".

I think the issue will be if other telco's use the same process (this time staying within the bounds of their instructions) on other cases.

It represent a backward country as these cases should never have happened in the first place.

Also, the operation was lead by pretty much all of Canada's telcos. It's not an especially competitive market.

Two cases do not make a country.

You are right.

Maybe I'm biased and a tad emotional. I was expecting more from Canada.
