OCAA claims that Ontario Power, through the ad, has reduced its air pollution emissions by more than 60% over 16 years. The ad was ran in the Toronto editions of the national newspapers, as well as the Ottawa Citizen and 31 other Ontario dailies and weeklies.

Article Abstract:
A landmark court decision in Canada has considerably expanded the legal protection extended to foreign-character trademarks in the country. Because of this court case, the test for confusion of such trademarks has become that of the average consumer rather than that of the average Canadian, if the products/services are aimed at a sufficiently large community that understands the language. This implies that the sound, meaning and details regarding appearance will also be taken into account.

Pacific Newspaper Group is suing British Columbia transit authority TransLink over the latter's plan to bid exclusive rights for a daily transit paper to be distributed aboard buses and trains. One of the bidders, Pacific Press says the TransLink's plan violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and interferes with freedom of the press. Don MacLachlan, director of communications at Pacific Press, says the company will continue the court case, even if it wins the bid.
