Its not just to Canadians.

"Although the changes stemmed from Canadian privacy complaints, they will apply to Facebook's 250 million users worldwide. "

They relate to such things as whether Facebook will keep all your info even if you delete your account, and allowing you to control what pieces of your info applications can see.

In general, Canada`s privacy laws are more complete than other country`s (ie. Americas).

Individuals are protected by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) that sets out ground rules for how private sector organizations may collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. The law gives individuals the right to access and request correction of the personal information these organizations may have collected about them.
