Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation
What is CASL?
The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) went into effect on July 1, 2014. You may be wondering: What is CASL? What does CASL require from businesses? What will businesses need to do to be CASL ready?
Comply with these three requirements

Express – lasts forever – Ask permission and clearly state what you are going to deliver – this is best practice and the right thing to do!
Implied – has a two year time limit - Provide identification information
