What if Google just told the canucks to fuck off? Would they be able to block the site? How would that even work? Forcing Canadian ISPs to block it? Would the canadiens be able to bring action against Google here?"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

The Canadian ruling is sort of on the other end of the spectrum from the EU. The EU issue a "local" ruling under "local" law. Canada issue global ruling under "local" law. So, e.g., if, say, the dipshits in New Zealand have decided that knock-off goods are a net positive on the market and encourage those sales, Google would still have to de-index the knock-off sites in NZ -- even if the sites sell only to NZ customers -- because Canada says so. That's insanity.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

A new study:
Students feel happier, more valued, and more motivated when they have a teacher of the same race and gender as them, a new study finds.Students feel happier, more valued, and more motivated when they have a teacher of the same race and gender as them, a new study finds.
Sure, it's obviously aimed at making black folks and women folks feel better, but do they really grasp the implications of this? It's like the argument that the police force should look the community. I mean, fine. But the logic of the argument means white folks work in white communities and black folks work in black communities. That means white folks have access to jobs in rich communities and AAs get access to jobs in burned out Cleveland. It's fucking stunning.
* I know damn well there is an absolute "white folk and men folk" exception to these arguments -- they don't count. I get that. But the undeniable logic is the undeniable logic.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

In Canada, google defaults to google.ca, but you can access google.com. At least now you can. I know this from my last trip to America's hat. I assume that was the reason for their ruling.
I also assume Canuckistan has an appeals process, because attempting to force how google does business world-wide is silly sauce."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
