I've done that for a long time. If you search around the forums, you'll see a few other threads on this subject, including quite a few examples of photographer's not being able to exercise those rights. |

Has it ever helped you out in a real situation? |

No, I've never actually needed it, and probably won't unless I forget it at home : ) |

Canadians sometimes forget they aren't US citizens and overlook the fact they are subject to Canadian laws. ;-)
Canada reserves considerable privacy rights, many of which are only determined by judge, on a case to case and precedent basis. It is, IMO, practical (for a photographer) to assume that recognizable (identifiable) human subjects have these rights unless they are a public figure performing a public function or one (or several faces) in a crowd and part of a public event.
While it is not easy for anyone to prevent you (legally) from photographing such subjects, it is quite easy to make a case against you, after the fact. In other words, if you are a photographer working in Canada, try not to get sued or take your candids in the States.

| That's great, you can read it while some 250lb redneck and his goon friends are kicking the hell out of you for asserting your rights. |
