Non-Canadian readers may be interested to learn that the British
Columbia Attorney General resigned his post because he was recorded
uttering various naughties on his cellular phone.  The transmission
seem to have been picked up by a "free-lance" journalist.

I cannot comment on the Canadian legal matters, but my understanding
of the opinions I have heard is that it may not be an offence, as I
gather it is south of our border, to listen and record such calls.

Oops!
