"A person must not wilfully disclose personal information to which this Act applies pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or order issued or made by a court, person or body having no jurisdiction in Alberta to compel the production of information or pursuant to a rule of court that is not binding in Alberta," it states.
(4) A person who contravenes subsection (3) is guilty of an offence and liable

(b) in the case of any other person, to a fine of not less than $200 000 and not more than $500 000.

About freaking time someone have some balls and make a stand of some kind against the bastard-ran gov’t here in the US.
I hadn’t figured Canada to be the place to stand up to the US 1st but hey now that someone has - perhaps others will follow? (as will sanctions and misc problems……like saying they have WMD and the US will be at war w/them next)

“Once the voice of the ’silent majority’ is finally heard it WILL be deafening and this >bastard-ran gov’t< will HAVE to listen”
“will HAVE to listen”. Before that happens, imho, this “Government” we are saddled with will be building psychiatric institutions with greater speed than prisons, then piling-in the newly-diagnosed “insane”.
Have you ever been sent away, involuntarily, to a nuthouse? Not a DAMN thing that you say is taken seriously; “they” simply smile and take notes, ad nauseum. Display *any* hint of aggression, and you will be “dosed up” with some pretty nasty crap.
With Diety as my witness, I would not put the “mental hospital” thing past Dubya & his political successors.
