Musk files lawsuit in…
I hope he does. We handle lawsuits differently in Canada and he doesn’t own our judges or supreme court. I look forward to reading the judges decision lambasting him and his lawyers.
What’s your laws say about contracts? Surely if they had a contract, they’d need to pay until the end of the contract, no?
What happens if I dont pay my rent in Canada?
Canada should make its own version of Netflix, Amazon and Uber and watch American companies cry while they try to sue in Canadian courts and flounder.
Every country should do this. There’s no reason for a cut to go to Silicon Valley when you buy Canadian food from a Canadian restaurant delivered by a Canadian driver. Fuck em.
Netflix should not be making ad revenue when people around the world binge watch Kim’s Convenience (a Canadian production).
It’s about time we cut the US media mafia out. They need to see that the walled garden they’ve created around their profits is not impenetrable.
We have Crave owned by Bell Media, of course we don’t really care for our telecom companies either but least I think it’s a Canadian company.
May I introduce you to CBC Gem?
CBC Gem is genuinely one of the best streaming services out there. And it’s free.
May I introduce you to torrents and Plex?
The post I was responding too was about steaming services, so I responded in-kind. Torrents have obviously always been an option, even in the heyday of streaming.
Netflix shouldn’t be getting revenue when you watch American-made shows either. Canada’s respect for US Copyright law was part of a trade agreement, which the US has violated
Files a lawsuit based on what? The only thing he could possibly sue for would be if Ontario doesn’t pay whatever penalty clauses are in that contract.
The guy sued companies because they didn’t advertise on his website. I wouldn’t put trying to sue because of this past him.
You can always sue, but in most normal countries it just gets tossed out.
Haven’t been following the news much, have you?
Canada isn’t the US. If Musk wants to sue Ontario, he has to do so in Ontario courts, which are obviosly not stocked with Trump supporters. Unless Ontario specifically breaks the terms of the contract, any case gets tossed.
America is the most pro litigation country in the world. This won’t fly anywhere else.
Based on the principles of SLAPP
Its a threat intended to intimidate the other party into backing down.
I see the pettiness of SLAPP, and I raise you the ultimate pettiness of Notwithstanding
SLAPP lawsuits aren’t particularly effective against governments. There’s nothing much to fear when you can just change the laws if things don’t go your way. And even Musk isn’t going to out spend the province of Ontario.
Of course, but that doesn’t stop Musk from trying to use his typical sabre rattling methods.
