Interesting sidebar to point out there. Thanks for this.
When I was younger, I used to read Comics Buyer's Guide back in the days when it was a weekly publication in the not-quite-tabloid-OR-broadsheet format. One of their regular features was a column by Bob Ingersoll, entitled "The Law is a Ass" (http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/law/). He specialized in exactly those sorts of issues.
If Marvel ever revives Alpha Flight or DC ever sets up its Canadian characters - about a half-dozen second- and third-tier characters right now - with their own series, then we're going to need a column/weblog specializing in how Canadian law affects and is affected in turn in such contexts, if only to moderate the number of "Spot the Mistake" games readers end up playing.
Hmmm...
