The law in Canada is/was a little different. Your were allowed to listen, but you were not allowed to repeat anything you heard. Thats why you can/could buy un-blocked scanners here. ... at least thats the way it _used_ to be. The issue with WiFi isn't so much the ability to 'listen' to traffic, its the fact that not all 'defined' frequencies that the hardware is capable of using, ARE legally usable in all countries. Now how does a device/laptop 'know' what country its current operating in is another story. Its not as if it has a built-n GPS! :-)
