Canadian Radiocommunication Act

Hi all I don't want to start a debate on this I just wondering if someone can give me better understanding of this law .



Now in the canadian Radiocommunication Act section 9 (2) it states that :



(2) Except as prescribed, no person shall intercept

and make use of, or intercept and divulge,

any radiocommunication, except as permitted

by the originator of the communication

or the person intended by the originator of the

communication to receive it.



9.1 Every person who contravenes subsection

9(1.1) or (2) is guilty of an offence punishable

on summary conviction and liable



(a) in the case of an individual, to a fine not

exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars or to

imprisonment for a term not exceeding one

year, or to both; and



(b) in the case of a person other than an individual,

to a fine not exceeding seventy-five

thousand dollars.



Now what that tells me that nothing heard on a scanner can be repeated for example on a social media ie twitter , facebook etc... , would you not think that ?



Now also Radiocommunication Act 9 (3) says :



(3) Subsection (2) does not apply in respect

of radiocommunication that consists of broadcasting,

a subscription programming signal or a

network feed.



So again that would not apply to a scanner right ? so writing something on social media would be illegal if I am reading this law correctly .



Thanks in advance to everyone who responds just looking for answers .
