of the University of Ottawa and the ranking expert on copyright law in Canada has written a post about upcoming policy changes in Canada: Government of Canada Unveils Plans for Copyright Reform. A must-read for Canadians interested in the subject.
It’s too bad that newspapers
don’t take their role of encouraging public debate more seriously. In fact they damage it by hiding articles behind a subscription barrier. Otherwise I could point Canadian readers to a very good article in today’s Globe and Mail by John Ibbitson that takes religious groups to task for essentially lying to the Canadian public as gay marriage becomes legal in this country. As it stands, you can only read the first two grafs, which hardly gets to the point.
My lovely wife
clearly demonstrates why she’ll never enter the political sphere: she has far too much common sense and is far too intelligent for such a milieu. Exhibit 1: Politique 101.

Boing Boing: The Truth About Copyright Revision in Canada. “The truth is that these proposed changes would drain millions of dollars from Canadas provincial education systems, threaten national security research and personal privacy, harm Canadian culture by enlarging the billion dollar Canadian culture deficit, and put Canadian business at a competitive disadvantage.”
During yesterday’s outage
I missed this little turd from Toronto’s excretion about the selection of Nicholas Gill as flag-bearer for Canada at the Olympics: D’oh! Canada. Steve Simmons writes, “The case against Gill doesn’t even have to begin with the fact he would rather represent one province than 10.” Asshole. I didn’t know there was a political opinion exam to complete before representing your country.
