No.  Fair dealing under Canadian law is not a matter of "satisfy
any one requirement".  It's "satisfy all requirements".

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).  No,
that's not a lot -- but at least that gives me *some* first-hand
knowledge of it.  How seriously have you read the act?
