Canada’s CRTC, one of three federal agencies responsible for administering and enforcing Canada’s new federal anti-spam legislation (“CASL”), has published new Information Sessions (video) on the upcoming CASL law that comes into force in Canada on July 1, 2014.

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.

Two new competition/antitrust law related books caught my eye – one relating to antitrust law and sport and the other in the quickly growing area of Chinese competition law: Competition Law in China: Laws, Regulations and Cases (Jones Day) and Sports and Antitrust Law (American Bar Association).

The Macdonald-Laurier Institute has issued a new paper on government regulation (authored by Philip Cross) together with a companion Globe article (Regulation a ‘quaint relic’ with a firm grip on Canada’s economy) that caught my eye, which argues that the historic rationales for regulation in many sectors no longer hold true: Estimating the True Size of Government: Adjusting for Regulation.

On my media sweep earlier, two interesting trade association cases caught my eye, both including allegations of “output restriction” or “boycott” type activities. In one case, involving the Irish Medical Organisation (“IMO”), the Irish Competition Authority (the “Competition Authority”) announced that the IMO had provided undertakings (i.e., settlement terms) in an ongoing case that had raised collective refusal to supply (i.e., boycott) concerns for the Competition Authority. In particular, this case had involved alleged efforts by a medical association and its competing members to collectively refuse to participate in certain publicly funded health services.

A U.S. antitrust law colleague of mine (Steve Cernak) has written what I thought was a very interesting new practical competition/antitrust law publication entitled Antitrust Simulations (2014) (see: here). What caught my eye about this new publication was its effort to bridge the gap between the theoretical – and in the competition/antitrust law world there is a lot of that – and the practical (which is what clients want and students of competition/antirust law should have – when I teach I try to inject as many “real world” scenarios as possible). In sum, this struck me as a very interesting and practical publication well worth a look for potential clients and students alike.

Canada’s federal Competition Bureau is currently updating and “rebranding” its corporate compliance materials for companies, associations and other organizations. As part of this, the Bureau has recently issued several new videos (over the past several months). The Bureau is also making a greater effort to use social media and new media, including video and LinkedIn, for its communication and compliance efforts. As such, I thought it would be good to post them together here:
