Thanks Maurice for putting what i wanted to say myself. firstly it is up to us as admins of our own sites to comply with any data protection in your own country and thats it.
Facebook is just so different to most site, in fact facebook isnt a website,its a small country,so will draw more attention from lawful acts like this, but as you rightly say, for the sites governed by Canadian law (in this case).

Better luck next time TM....

regards
