Fyi, Canada has a history of leading change in internet standards (Facebook, 2008). Governments around the world are looking for solutions. When Canada gets a reasonable standard out first, its broad principals tend to be adopted by the larger countries/alliances that generally move more slowly.

I don’t think your examples support your claim. A single website/company changing their practices in response to Canada is not evidence that other countries adopt Canadian standards. Do you have any examples of that specifically?
