The story is light on details, but it looks like police in Ontario busted someone for wardriving. Here is a quick excerpt:

Ontario Provincial Police charged a 25-year-old man last week under
Section 326 of the Criminal Code - "Theft of Communications."

The OPP allege the man was using his lap top computer to steal a wireless
Internet connection in Morrisburg.

This appears not to be related to this much more disturbing incident from a couple years back (also in Canada) which Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie called “a relatively interesting set of events“.
