What would you do if you found out that someone has posted on a popular website, a page about you with belittling information and has posted your pictures? Basically stating degrading things about you. I believe it would be considered slander. Would you sue or report it to the police? In a situation such as this, how much punishment can the person who did this get?
Also, this would be in a Canadian legal system.
Any Lawyers opinions would be greatly appreciated.

How awful for you!
Personally I'd call a lawyer friend if I have one. Or a friend who works with the police.
If you don't have a friend then maybe put in a call to the your local police station to get some free legal advise. Or call a law office for advise.
Most of all don't try to pay back this person by sinking to their level. Don't call them fussing, cussing and screaming. Don't do some awful revenge that would only look bad on your part if you do sue or take legal actions.
All in all . . .
1. Take a few deep breaths and calm down.
2. Go to the website and do a File, save as and save the whole page or pages as HTML as proof and evidence (though I don't know you might want to ask before you do that someone could accuse you of altering the pages)
3. Call a friend who may be able to offer your legal advise you have any.
4. Decide if you want to cal the police just to find out what your rights are OR call a lawyer just for advise. Most likely the police or lawyer would call this person and give them a warning to take the stuff down.
Good luck.
That depends on what they are saying. If they are making accusations of things you have supposedly done, that could be a legal issue. If they are just ripping on you, I'd imagine they can rip on you all they want.
Personally, I would get my computer geek friend to crash and trash the site.
if this is myspace, they have steps to take in the Q%26A because sadly this happens a lot.
