U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA

P Starrson writes " Slashdot readers may recall that last month Canadian policy makers rejected the DMCA for Canada. Not so fast apparently -- the U.S. Trade Representative has released the annual Section 301 report which each year tells the rest of the world that they need stronger intellectual property protection. This year Canada is a particular target -- the U.S. plans to conduct a special review of Canadian policies and explicitly rejects Canada's rejection of the DMCA. A good summary on what this means from Canadian law professor Michael Geist."

    Soon, the USA will find that Canada's rejection of the DMCA is caused by Al Qaida.

    They will then launch a preventive strike over Canada.

    They will install Democracy in Canada.

    The world will be a much better place to live.

    Quebec is not a sovereign nation. Not currently, anyway.

    If you want to be sovereign, I have no problem with that, as long as you come up with your own currency, rather than use the Canadian dollar, sever all ties to Ottawa immediately, including all financial transfers, and don't come asking for foreign aid when you find out it's a tough slog.

    "sever all ties to Ottawa immediately" This is
    actualy the point of been sovereign. Ottawa has
    abuse Quebec and others provinces for too long.
    "..including all financial transfers" this will
    be done as soon as all the 'stolen' money return
    where due. Ottawa sit on pil of cashs they use to
    reward ther corporates friends.

    "don't come asking for foreign aid when you find
    out it's a tough slog." Federalist faschit fear
    tactics dont work anymore. More and more citizens
    know about the scams and elections frauds, they
    wont be impress by the emptys threats of 1995.
