Canadian judge rules the thumbs up emoji counts as a contract agreement - Lemmy.world

A Canadian judge has ruled that the popular “thumbs-up” emoji not only can be used as a contract agreement, but is just as valid as an actual signature. The Saskatchewan-based judge made the ruling on the grounds that the courts must adapt to the “new reality” of how people communicate, as originally reported by The Guardian.

Not fully knowing how Canadian government operates, can this be appealed beyond the provincial jurisdiction?
Yes, there is a three tier hierarchy of courts iirc, and this is the lowest. This is truly the most ridiculous thing I've read today; the Judge will be a laughed off the bench, and rightly so.
