"The Globe and Mail is reporting that Google and a
newspaper called http://www.thecoast.ca/
The Coast  
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/judge-says-paper-must-reveal-details-about-online-commenters/article1534211/
must disclose all information they have about the identity of individuals 
who posted anonymous comments online about top firefighters in Halifax. 
The

story in question is titled 'Black firefighters file human rights complaint,' 
and there are some heated opinions in the comments."
