'CASL' The New Canadian Anti-Spam Law
A new Canadian law came into force on July 1, 2014 regulating commercial electronic messaging. Known as Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation ('CASL'), it is widely considered the toughest law of its kind in the world. Unless one of the exclusion applies to a commercial electronic message ('CEM'), CASL requires express or implied consent in order to send CEM.
