Several days ago I posted the first of a series of short notes discussing some of the more interesting, frequent and important competition and advertising law questions I’ve received over the past few years (for the first post see: here).

A new Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) report caught my eye discussing whether Canada’s Internet privacy policies are overbroad and overshadow other important rights and principles, such as free expression, competition and economic growth: Finding the Balance on Digital Privacy: Toward a New Canadian Model for Data Protection in the 21st Century (authored by Solveig Singleton).

I’ve been blogging on competition and advertising law topics for quite a few years now – about six or seven years or so by my count – and written on a great many topics over those years. I blog on competition and advertising law for several reasons, including because I continue to find competition law related topics very interesting and, as a citizen, I think it is important to help maintain and increase the awareness of competition law and policy topics in our economy.

I recently heard someone say that deciding to become a lawyer was a little like deciding to do homework for a living. There is certainly some truth to that.
CANADIAN CASL (ANTI-SPAM LAW) PRECEDENTS
Do you need a precedent or checklist

These include checklists and precedents for express consent requests (including on behalf of third parties), sender identification information, unsubscribe mechanisms, business related exemptions and types of implied consent and documenting consent and scrubbing distribution lists. We also offer a CASL corporate compliance program. For more information or to order, see: Anti-Spam (CASL) Precedents/Forms.

A new competition law blog caught my eye earlier today, entitled Cartel Capers (by Robert Connolly). Readers of my blog will know that in the competition/antitrust law area, I find cartels (i.e., price-fixing, bid-rigging, market division and other illegal agreements among competitors) particularly interesting. I also thought the “smoke filled” room image on this new blog was a particularly nice touch.

Recently I had the opportunity to chat with some competition law colleagues about some of the ways Canadian and international competition/antitrust agencies were increasingly using social media, video and other digital channels for compliance and outreach. After this conversation, I became a bit curious about just what some of the leading competition agencies were up to and so did a quick sweep earlier today to take a look.
