Canada: FISA Act

The Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (FISA) was passed by the Government of Canada in December, 2010. Under this new anti-spam bill, marketers and commercial enterprises have to have the consent of recipients before sending them any unsolicited electronic messages. Stricter than the US CAN-SPAM law, which requires that senders include an opt-out method in all commercial emails, the Canadian law requires an opt-in. The new rules are broad, covering all personalized electronic messages, including email, text, or any other future means of communication which may be developed.
