British Columbia Acts Against Patriot Act

An anonymous reader writes "According to the CBC, the province of British Columbia will guard against the Patriot Act. This affects U.S.-owned companies operating in BC. Canadian subsidiaries in BC will be prohibited from giving certain information to the U.S. government."

Doesn't the government of B.C. have something better to do that worry about US laws? Doesn't this just demonstrate the degree to which America has gained hegemony over most of the world? I mean, when the government of a free province of a separate, free country has nothing better to do than pass laws opposing our laws, I'd say that they're pretty well acknowledging that they've become U.S. Centric.
