No. Fair dealing under Canadian law is not a matter of "satisfy any one requirement". It's "satisfy all requirements". > You do not have to qualify for all conditions, in my reading. Your reading is incorrect. Or possibly the wikipedia page is incorrect. I've spent about 10 hours reading the Canadian copyright act (in addition to about 20 hours reading commentary on webpages).
