I don't know the laws that well, but there is a distinction in Canadian law between uploading and downloading. I'm not entirely sure how applicable to torrenting that is, but I think there's a reasonable argument that if you are the original uploader, you must have uploaded the content in it's entirety, whereas that's not necessarily true for anyone else downloading the torrent, and certainly not provably so.
