The rules for Canada's notice-and-notice regime will change following the passing of C-86, the Budget Implementation Act. Moving forward, rightsholders will not be allowed to send copyright infringement notices for ISPs to pass onto their customers, if they contain a direct or indirect offer to settle. The development effectively ends Rightscorp-style business models in Canada.

Well, more like an employment review by their employers, the voters. Usually the voters here seem to punish the party that caused the early election by not compromising. Seems voters don't like too many elections and get pissed about having to go to the polls too soon though the American tribalism seems to be spreading up here.
