Blocking Access to Sites in Canada

Nos. writes: We've all read about the "Greate Firewall of China" and how ineffective it really is. In Canada, a lawyer is asking the CRTC to block access to a site that is inciting hate against Jews and even calling for the murder of a specific individual. While sites like these aren't big news, what is interesting, is two quotes from the article: "the CRTC has the rarely used power to order Internet providers to temporarily block them [sites] from Canadian web surfers" and "Canadian law prevents carriers from blocking hate sites without the express permission of the CRTC". Suggesting that the CRTC can demand that ISPs across Canada block access to a certain site, but also that it is against the law for an ISP to do so without being told to do so by the CRTC.
