My guess is they do not have global jurisdiction BUT could block (aka : blackmail) Google from Canada if they do not respond globally.
Dangerous precedent, in my opinion

That's why God invented proxy servers. They would need Red China style controls including a tiny number of ISPs if they wish to try that one.

That’s exactly what they will do. And google will knuckle under because revenue is more important than freedom and they probably agree with canadian leftists on which sites are ‘evil’ anyway.

Agree 100%
States have authority to block within their borders.

This is the same tactic as blocking Trump’s travel “ban”. Overreaching their authority knowingly but having the effect as if they have that authority.
This will be the push for a one world order, the argument that a global law is needed. These types of overreach could start breaking out everywhere. Canada is certainly not a free society now.

I wonder how long the current Canadian government would last if this court blocked Google from Canada.
