Canada Says No To DMCA
P Starrson writes "
The Canadian government has reportedly said no to the DMCA. It
released its plans
for copyright reform today with a limited anti-circumvention provision
that would not cover the likes of DeCSS. It even avoided the U.S.
"notice and takedown system" that has caused a big headache for U.S.
ISPs. A good summary is available from Canadian law professor Michael Geist. "

I'd hardly consider socialist Canadia to be 'the best government.'
If you are making 6 figures in the USA you can afford insurance. With insurance you aren't going bankrupt due to health probelms. Even with out insurance you should still be able to pay for it. You do have an emergency situation bank account right?
There are 11 types of people, those who know unary and those who don't.
...of the free trade agreement: all your base...uhh, resources ....belong to us.
Seriously, if there is a water or energy shortage in the US, Canada can NOT tell the US 'well take care of our needs and well sell you the rest'.
We suffer? Then you'll suffer with us...
Read Chapter 11 and all the little doozies like that. Canada never was more than a banana republic, the past 20 years and the Free Trade just put it to paper.
When Quebec separates though, some people think that that means that the US will absorb the english speaking provinces. Why would we? Already have free acces to everything, own every major corporation and the ones that arent US owned are more US centric anyways.
Nope, Canada will become Puerto Rico or Guam.
They'll be teased and tempted but no way in the hell the US expands when it can get everything it wants. ANyone who says Iraq is smoking BC bud. Canada's toy soldiers were too stretched out and there was NO way they had the people or equipment to extend themselves. And the 500 soldiers that are part of exchange programs and the Canadian fleet (all two boats) which is supporting the US is basically all they could spare. If they had teh manpower they would have been tehre just like in Afghanistan, Kosovo and other US BS wars.
The Free Trade agreement just accelerated the process.
