Is this even enforceable?

  >Is this even enforceable? You mean practically or legally? The actual California sentence makes it unenforceable legally (in the US): https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/google-v-equustek-united-states-federal-court-declares-canadian-court-order-unenforceable https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/google-v-equustek-united... It should be actually marked [2017], however.

  No it is not enforceable and rather silly.

  Google sells over $2B worth of advertising to Canadians every year, plus a bunch of phones and other services. If they're not willing to abandon that revenue, it's certainly very enforceable.

    Not to mention 3 offices with a good number of employees between them. Some very high profile (e.g. Geoffrey Hinton).

    Depends. What happens to Google's worldwide revenue when they set the precedent of removing information based on one country's legal findings. They have previously shut down most of their services in China, which seems like it would be a bigger market.
