A man on a mission

So, a fall Canadian federal election is all but officially announced by the Prime Minister. To be honest, I can't find a whole lot of fault with what the current Conservative government has done (this is a Liberal talking) except for its stance on the Kyoto accord and of course - my favourite Bill of contention - Bill C-61. I don't necessarily wish the Conservative government burns for this ridiculous Bill, but I am wishing for the demise of the Industry Minister, Jim Prentice.

If you have no idea what the big deal is, you really ought to get yourself informed on the matter, because many of the current consumer activities we take for granted are going to be illegal and even some activities that don't exist yet if this Bill passes. A good place to start your education would be at Michael Geist's blog. He is the go-to IP lawyer in Canada, so he knows of what he speaks.
