Gap settles anti-spam violation for $200,000
December 8, 2021

Clothing company Gap has agreed to a CA$200,000 settlement with the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for
allegedly violating the Canadian Anti-Spam Law (CASL) […]

Additionally, corporate directors can be found to be liable for their
organization’s CASL breaches. Such was the case with Brian Conely, chief
executive officer of nCrowd, who was fined $100,000 for CASL violations
in 2019.
In March 2021, the CRTC fined Scott William Brewer $75,000 for
conducting multiple hailstorm spam email campaigns, sending over
670,000 emails without the consent of the recipients.

It *does not* look like a efficient deterrent IMHO.
