   Freedom of expression
   Dr. Geist,

   What are you opinions of this court filing?

   This union has had a rough time. Walmart stores in Quebec who voted for a Union completely shut down.

   Gatineua Walmart tire shops (raise of about 20-cents) shut down.

   Walmart stores who voted for a Union, shut down.

   One union made it.

   Now Walmart wants this Union website shut down and off-line.

   Is this trying to shut Quebec unions off?

   Is this trying to muscle via the courts to shut people off?

   Is this freedom of speech/expression/association being abused via courts?

   What is the big picture here?

   Any expert analysis of this?

   Utterly stupid on Walmart’s part. Has no one there heard of the Streisand effect? Just more abuse of IP.

   ICBC adopting similar tactics?
   Sounds similar to this story: “ICBC sues owner of insurance-advice website”
