Is There a Canadian Equivalent to the EFF?

Posted by Cliff on from the canucks-want-freedom-too-eh? dept.

javacowboy asks: "I'm a Canadian citizen who recently emailed the Electronic Frontier Foundation to ask about the tax-deductibility of donations to that organization. They replied telling me that they have no presence in Canada and that they can't issue a Canadian tax receipt. What I would like to know is if there is a similar organization in Canada, working towards the same goals, that I can donate to as well as writing off the donations on my tax form."

    EFF, eh

    Has anyone considered the Lameness filter oppressing?

    I am the guy who got the first post, and I have a question for the first post trolls that beat: Why doesn't one of you guys set up a script to check the front page for new articles, grab the new page, get the submit url, set a timer for 20.05 seconds, then submit your pre-written text?

    It would be completely automated, and you would be guaranteed get the coveted FP, at least until somebody else comes up with a similar script. Then I guess you see who can cut it closest to the 20 seconds, and ultimately I guess it comes down to who lives closest to the slashdot server or who has the fastest route.

    It just seems that somebody should have already done this, in order to become the undisputed master of the first post universe, but I got one earlier, manually, so clearly it hasn't been done. I only fp once in a while, and don't want every fp, but somebody must.

    yes, and some have considered it oppresive, too.
