Re: Lawsuits for falsyfying DNS responses ?

I believe that the CRTC has rules against censorship - meaning that Videotron, Bell etcetera have a choice between 
following the CRTC code or the provincial law (following one = sanctions from the other), rendering internet service 
provision to Québec impossible without being a dialup provider from out-of-province.

The law may even be actually contrary to federal law.
