E-mail Privacy

Interesting story for those who follow hockey. Colin Campbell, the current senior vice president and director of hockey operations is being questioned for several emails he sent discussing calls made by referees. The biggest controversy centering around Campbell is his unhappiness about a high-sticking penalty assessed to his son.

Campbell has the power to suspend players so there are obvious "conflict of interest" concerns if his son is a player in the league. Tyler Dellow writes the blog and works as a lawyer in Toronto. He says "the morals of this little tale? There are many. Never put anything into an email that you wouldn’t be fine with seeing in print on the front page of a national newspaper."
Should e-mails be considered private conversations? Do we have to watch what we write in our emails? Apparently a lawyer thinks we should be careful!
