Just from curiosity, what were to happen if a Canadian-themed website housed in the United States and lacking the “.ca” URL were to exist?
IOW, if a Free Dominion were to be launched in the United States with a “.com” or “.org” URL and housed on American servers, what could a plaintiff do to stop Canadians from accessing it?
I suppose an ISP could block those domains but it would seem Canadians would be as unable to stop it as Americans are from stopping offshore gambling sites.
Thanks, Connie, for giving Americans a preview of where “hate speech” laws are leading us. Sorry you had to endure this but it is the leaders who rush the hill that take the most arrows.
If someone ran a US board for Canadian content, it could exist and Canadians could access it.
But there would be nothing to stop Canadian plaintiffs from suing the owners under our gross Ontario defamation law.
That is why we are fighting so hard against this law. It does no good to have strong free speech protection in the US if someone else’s oppressive defamation laws can be applied to you.
