Though Canada is a country that still recognizes the UK monarch as the head of state, Canada makes its own rules — including antispam laws. Canada is straightforward, as is its wont, and calls its antispam law Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications website has a page about the CASL that you can find at https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/internet/anti.htm, as shown in Figure 2-8.

Like similar antispam laws, CASL regulates all electronic messages — including email and texts within, from, and to Canada — that organizations send with what the law calls commercial activity.

FIGURE 2-8: You can find plenty of helpful links and information on the CASL home page.

The website has not only a lot of frequently asked questions and other helpful links but also a list of five compliance tips to follow — including a phone number you can call to ask for help. (We haven’t called it ourselves, but we expect that you’ll talk to a real person because it’s Canada.)
