Loan sharking?

I believe in Canada any interest above 40 or 60% (can't remember which) is considered loan sharking which is illegal.

Here's my question now;

Say you borrow $1,000, with an interest of 15% per month on it. That's $150 per month to payout, totalling $1800 annually received from interest.

Wouldn't that be considered an interest rate of 180%?
