According to the New York Times, the Copyright Board of Canada has declared that:

Downloading copyrighted music from peer-to-peer networks is legal in Canada, although uploading files is not, Canadian copyright regulators said yesterday.



Presumably, this precedent will perforce lead to the finding that buying cocaine is legal, but giving it away it is not.

The permissibility of soliciting vs. pimping remains undecided.

[Canadians are have trouble with drug cos. reluctant to subsidize drug arbitrage. Sick of selling product to the Canadians that ends up back in the U.S. via Internet pharmacy, the drug companies have put them on allocation - if they want more Viagra after that's used up they can get on a bus to Buffalo and buy it like the rest of us. -MoF]
