4813 - Take the public paywalls down


Here's a link to a resource that will become more useful over time. It's a site that is trying to get ALL the laws online.

https://public.resource.org/index.html

There's a 20-minute video on the site.

Nope, no pictures here this time. There's more than enough to waste days on the site.

You should never, ever have to pay to find out what the law is. That is just plain silly (and dangerous).

EC - But oh so unfortunately true. Not all of them. But like the electrical code? Open that wallet.

I didn't know you had to pay to find to find out what the law is. Sounds like a Steve Martin routine: "But Your Honor, I couldn't afford to know that robbing a bank was against the law!"

All of Canada's statutes and regulations, both federal, provincial and territorial, are available for free on the internet.

K - Not all of them. But you would be surprised how many are behind paywalls.

DSWS - Are you reeeeeally sure?
