Ok, so even with the slightly click-baity title, looks like the important part is this

> Canadian law bans any visual representation of someone depicted as being under the age of 18 engaged in explicit sexual activity.

Media in question copy-pasted real kids faces into sex videos, which seems to be illegal as read.

This ruling probably doesn't cover 100% fully artificially generated stuff. Still wondering when that will hit the courts.

Also the guy had plenty of the real stuff apparently.

Not this ruling but others do. In 2008 an Australian man was convicted of possessing child pornography for having sexually explicit depictions of characters from The Simpsons; Canada and the UK have seen a few convictions involving erotica based on (entirely fictional) anime characters.
