There's a significant development in the saga of website blocking in Canada: Quebec's agency that regulates financial markets is banning cryptoexchanges XT and CoinEx, and to enforce it they got a court order forcing listed ISPs to block the sites:

AMF v. CoinEx: canlii.ca/t/kbrbw
AMF v. XT dot com: canlii.ca/t/kbrbx
These blocking orders originally enforced copyright in the GoldTV case, but have now been used to enforce trademarks (Indigo) and now financial markets. Who could have predicted? Everyone.
