I am a proud Canadian and when I see things like this I would love to see the gov't take a hard line and nail the company to the wall. Problem is as we all know they are bed buddies so most likely nothing will come of it.

Not sure how you'd fight that, apart from encouraging a mass migration to an ISP with different policies - but do they exist? It's sad that Canada lack our legislation protecting privacy, another point on our side is that the UK government are far from in bed with BT or any ISP (if that were the case I'm sure the taxpayer would be contributing towards a fibre optic rollout by now).
