Dave in Phoenix, thanks for the info.
IceG, ease up on the guy. He was clearly just trying to help and I'm sure meant no offense re his 'teach us' comment.
dude, i disagree as the comment was couched with such an omnipotent tone at the outset...

Geesh, most of the answers given aren't totally correct.
Here I go again teaching Canadians their law
that is an "embarrassment" icon last time i checked, not the "big grin" or "wink" or "stick out tongue" or "smilie"
if he was just joking then any of those icons would have conveyed such a sentiment. the embarrassment icon is insulting/condescending in that context. Either he is embarrased because "he knows" (implies we do not) the "Canadian" law or "we do not know" (implication is we are uneducated on the matter, but somehow he is an expert on the issues). The true punch line is THEN he then puts up erroneous information for others to rely on.
so i just answered with the same tone and showed the "misinformation" and some errors of his "learned" interpretation.
after all, I DON'T want any PERB dudes operating under misapprehensions of the law. personally, i don't think a person deserves thanks for putting up legally incorrect info (especially when it involves potential criminal offences)
