Amy Conroy, a Ph.D. student at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law, has written an excellent article summarizing the various legal regimes applicable to the protection of "personality rights" in Canada, from the common law tort of "appropriation of personality" to the statutory "privacy" regimes in various provinces to the civil code and Quebec Charter-based position found in Quebec. The article, "Protecting Your Personality Rights in Canada: A Matter of Property or Privacy?", is available online, and has been published in the first issue of the University of Western Ontario Journal of Legal Studies.
