Canadian data order risks blowing a hole in EU sovereignty

OVH has a Canadian arm, which was the jumping-off point for the courts, but OVH Group is a French company, so the data in France should be protected from prying eyes. Or perhaps not. Rather than using established Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLAT) between Canada and France, the RCMP sought direct disclosure through OVH's Canadian subsidiary. This puts OVH in an impossible position. French law prohibits such data sharing outside official treaties, with penalties up to €90,000 and six months imprisonment.
