Well, according to this blog, it says Bill C-11 (Copyright Modernization Act, which amends the existing provisions of the Copyright Act) has made it illegal to break DRM in Canada.

An excerpt from the actual Bill C-11 (Section 1f):

Bill C-11 prohibits the circumvention of any access control installed
on a work, performer’s performance fixed in a sound recording or a
sound recording, even if the work subject to the digital lock is
legally acquired.

The digital lock prohibitions in the Act could potentially “trump” or
prevail over various exceptions in the Copyright Act, e.g. the fair
dealing or educational exceptions.

Bummer...
