The CRTC has published its regulations under CASL.1
These look less onerous than the ones published last year. For instance, the “within 2 clicks” part for unsubscriptions is now gone and replaced by “readily performed”. That’s going to be wildly squishy, and so most senders should probably go ahead and default to following CAN-SPAM’s still-a-bit-squishy, but slightly clearer “single web page” requirement.
