To their credit, Canadian regulators have in the past gotten stuff done in this area. Back in 2010 Canada was instrumental in getting Facebook to implement basic privacy protections. More often than not, the big online platforms internally know that regulation has to happen. Whichever country first comes up with a standard for "reasonable" in an area tends to see that standard mirrored by other countries struggling with the same issue. The online platforms would love to say that they are already in compliance with the Canadian standard when they inevitably have to negotiate new standards for the US and Europe.
