CDN Supreme Court Upholds 'Net Free Speech

Posted by timothy on from the complaints-department dept.

Gryphon writes: "The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a citizen has the right to express dissatifaction with the products or services of a company; in this case, an insurance company.

Strike one for the little guy in Canada -- and maybe move here if you want to avoid the DMCA? ;)"

  1. Another thing to worry about for Microsoft. by chrysalis · · Score: 1, Troll

    You're well on your way to having all the basic human rights that are enjoyed by the rest of the free world!! Pretty soon, you'll have the right to a free and unbiased press, and the freedom to organize!! And after that, who knows?? Perhaps the freedom to practice whatever religion you want??? It's a brave new world for the people of CANADA!!!
