There are several possibilities assuming Canadian Law is similar to British law, which i belive it is.
First of all you will be able to access Google the internet is not a such governed by localities. Second of all las should not be made retrospectivly & usually isn't (only in rare circumstances).
If a problem did arise Google could indeed challange the statute & order a judicial review, or they could argue that the law is not retrospective (if it isn't). #
This is at least my view on the situation, but at the end of the day policing the internet is impossible for idividual states unless you live in the US and think freedom is wrong, but hey if you dont live in the US it's a free world!

On thinking implanted computing could be damn useful, the only obstacle to over come is where to implant ctr alt & del keys....... as well as the famous any key..... and when you had a bluescreen who would reboot you..... also what happens if you fail to activate your implant with microsoft do they just stop you working, however in fairness it'll work better than to days product activation as the hardware wont change much!
Why do people hate grafitti? because its pointless loutish abuse of a perfectly serviceable wall..... this A) gives grafitti some sort of meaning and sense for non-louts also B) the potential of the medium for advertising etc..... the same sort of thing when IBM grafittied there logo across a city in biodegradable paint..... only difference instead of a pic hyperlink it to a website or something with a use at the end of the day it is a quirky quality different and in a great sense artistic way to use technology....... however it is complete bulls**t which is prob what makes it appealing to me at least
