Yes, the Ed Stelmach.ca incident where Daveberta.ca should have been sued for misappropriating his name…
Having a domain name in no way implies that I am the person in the domain name. Had he created a fake page acting as Ed Stelmach there may have been a case but he didn’t; he just redirected it to another page. He could also legally create a parody page at that site as long as it was not reasonable for someone to believe it actually had belonged to Ed Stelmach.
I would suggest that the NDP did in fact mention that they intended to do something around climate change without specifically saying “Carbon Levy” but what could that have been? Of course any logical mind would be able to connect the dots.
After all, On February 19, 2008, the Government of British Columbia announced its intention to implement a carbon tax of C$10 per tonne of Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions (2.41 cents per litre on gasoline).
So when I hear or read that the NDP didn’t campaign on a Carbon Levy, I say you were not paying attention!
Taken from the Alberta NDP’s published platform document……
