- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
