TORONTO – Five things to watch this week in Canadian business:
Environment Ministers Meet: The federal and provincial environment ministers meet Monday in Montreal, where they will kick off negotiations on a plan to meet Canada’s international climate commitments. Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is on record saying Ottawa is prepared to impose a carbon price on the provinces, a proposition bound to rankle some at the table.
Electricity Conference: The Canadian Energy Research Institute hosts an annual conference in Calgary about electricity. The two-day gathering that begins Monday will grapple with a number of issues, including carbon pricing and the impact electric vehicles could have on the power grid.
Real Estate: On Tuesday, Vancouver’s real estate figures for September will be released. Housing market watchers are keen to know whether the 15-per-cent tax for foreign buyers is having its intended effect. In August, the first month of the tax, home sales in the city plunged 26 per cent compared to the same month last year…

Who inherits a selfie? States seek to fill privacy law gaps
– canadianbusiness.com
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – States are passing laws dealing with how to release information from online accounts to relatives when people die.
Google, Facebook and other companies have said a federal privacy law approved decades before digital storage became common prevents them from releasing electronic memories or records unless the account owner grants permission.
This year, Illinois was one of 19 states that passed similar laws to clarify what internet companies can release after someone dies and when information should remain inaccessible.
Even with the new laws, people must be proactive in specifying whom they want to inherit their accounts. At a minimum, companies will release basic information from a user unless they express otherwise, such as the person’s email contact list to help find friends or gather an inventory of a person’s assets.
