The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has handed out steep penalties to three organizations for failing to comply with Canada’s new anti-spam regulations.

Up to this point, there has been some doubt as to whether the CRTC and the Competition Bureau would follow through on the promise of the new law. Doubt no more: the worst offender was a Quebec company called Compu-Finder, which received a whopping 1.1 million dollar fine.

It’s not often that I find a reason to praise the CRTC, but this is one of those times. Nice work, folks! Keep it up.
