Greetings from a place called Canada. Different laws up here. It's not so cut and dry (we've already checked this with our attorneys). That said, we'll defend vigorously.
- fleitz 12y agoYes, it's amazing how US law does not apply here. I frequently have to remind my fellow citizens that it makes little sense to plead the 5th here, because whether parliament has sat in the last year will not effect the outcome of your trial.
- graeme 12y agoCountries that don't have 911 as the emergency number often have to mount campaigns telling people not to dial it.
- jessaustin 12y agoIf so, it would seem a simple solution to alias "911" to whatever foolish number their backward attempt at civilization uses. b^)
- Zuider 12y agoNein, nein, nein!
- owenmarshall 12y agoThe GSM standard mandates that 911, 112, and 999 (I believe...) be routed as emergency calls when dialed on a GSM cell phone. I think some phones go farther and include 000, 118, and other lesser-used emergency numbers as well.
- cperciva 12y agoit makes little sense to plead the 5th here, because whether parliament has sat in the last year will not effect the outcome of your trial Ah, but you're looking at Section 5 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and when people say "plead the fifth" they're talking about the fifth amendment to the constitution. Of course, we don't number our constitutional amendments; but if you look at them in chronological order, I believe the fifth would be the Statute Law Revision Act, 1893, which... well, actually it did nothing at all except to repeal sections of the British North America Act which no longer had any effect.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoWhat about transferring the site's hosting and its ownership to a US entity?
- scottshea 12y agoWhat?! Canada does not have to follow US laws? I am sure there are some whackdoodle-nutjobs in the US government working on changing this somehow.
- StuntPope 12y agoIndeed there are! In fact we're in the midst of another minor tiff over just that issue right now http://blog.easydns.org/2014/08/15/heres-why-we-took-down-a-pharmacy-domain-without-a-court-order/ http://blog.easydns.org/2014/08/15/heres-why-we-took-down-a-...
