    Big punitive settlements aren’t really a thing in Canada. He probably already has to justify to the court how Google’s action led to him actually losing $1.5m. If his claim for damages was unrealistic the case would just be tossed.

    (obligatory IANAL)

      As much as I dislike them when all things are equal, that’s not the case in this world. Canada needs to change their attitude on this a bit because absurdly large punishments are one of the only ways to deter absurdly large corporations from bad behavior. Maybe punishments need to be scaled according to relative revenue of the offender.
