The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

The new Anti-spamming legislation comes into effect July 1st. Businesses can no longer use electronic communications without prior consent. Fines between 1-10 million per violation. My thinking is if I ask for consent then I am admitting that I need it. What about "implied" consent? Or just incorporate a company to assume legal responsibilities and shut it down when it's no longer useful...Any ideas?

I believe if you have any online email software they will ask for permission again to anyone who receives any emails from you. I plan to allow that program to do what it is supposed to do. Otherwise just put a disclaimer stating, "Acceptance of this email/correspondence is agreement to continue. If not, please opt out."

the legislation specifically states that the receiver of electronic messages must give express or written consent (no opt-out options)...36 month grace period given for established prior business relationships but, eventually all communications must have written consent...some real fascist stuff going on here. How are business supposed to survive without being allowed to contact their clients/customers?...how do people organize themselves if it's against the law to spread messages and inform the uninformed?

Your question is a fallacy. What did they do BEFORE email? They had the right to spam you over the phone/fax, until people people pointed out the COSTS. Business cried "WON"T SOMEONE THINK OF THE PROFITS"! We'll starve, if we can't spam! I run mail servers for OVER 100 domains! I HAVE TO PAY THE BANDWIDTH COSTS OF SPAM. ...and you don't really know what the word "fascist" means if you lament the "harm' to BUSINESS in LITERALLY THE NEXT SENTENCE.

Worry about the government CALLING YOU A PEDOPHILE if you don't give them remote root access to your computer. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tories-on-e-snooping-stand-with-us-or-with-the-child-pornographers/article545799/

Specifically (in my case) I represent workers looking for jobs. I clean up resumes, and answer ads posted by employers (for a fee paid by the employer) this falls under the definition of "commercial purposes".

If people email YOU, the law does not apply. If YOU email someone that you already have a business relationship wit, the law does not apply, as CONSENT is implied (or you wouldn't be doing business with them). You aren't going to get a sympathetic ear here. I've had to eat spammer's costs for 20 years. I don't care if every business in the western hemisphere goes broke. Spamming is not, and never was a "right". IT COSTS THIRD PARTIES...LIKE ME!

Vicky Logozar

the definition of business relationship is very vague...could mean a previous sale for services....could mean previous back and forth communications...I don't expect any sympathy, in fact I'd be happy to pay for a solution. There just don't seem to be any.
