Looking for a reason to take Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”) seriously? Well, look no further. According to an article published by CBC today, “[m]ore than 1,000 complaints have been filed since the new anti-spam law took effect on Tuesday, says Manon Bombardier, the CRTC’s chief compliance and enforcement officer.”
The CBC article indicates that the CRTC will be reviewing all complaints; however, they will “be strategic in which ones [they] pursue for investigations”.
