Precisely. The use of the emoji was tangential to the evidence that contracts between these two parties had previously been negotiated via text messages.
> "The Court of King's Bench decision said a grain buyer with South West Terminal sent a text to farmers in March 2021 saying that the company was looking to buy 86 tonnes of flax for $17 per bushel to be delivered in the fall."
> "The buyer, Kent Mickleborough, later spoke with Swift Current farmer Chris Achter on the phone and texted a picture of a contract to deliver the flax in November, adding 'please confirm flax contract.'"
It's not like the court determined a thumbs-up emoji is now equivalent to a witnessed signature or anything.
