Canada Election Result Bad News For DMCA Opponents
An anonymous reader writes "For those with a stake in the opposition of Jim Prentice's C-61, the Canadian DMCA, this previous week's election results will be displeasing. The Conservative Party, which promised to reintroduce the DMCA if elected, gained 19 seats this election, mostly at the expense of the flagging liberal party, a mere 12 short of a majority government. The increase in Conservative representation, as well as the relatively low profile of this issue amidst other, more pressing concerns, increases the likelihood that the son of C-61 will come to fruition. On a positive note, the number of MPs supporting Geist's copyright pledge has increased to 34. Given the Conservative Party's historic disregard of public opinion, however, the efforts of the copyright-pledge MPs will have to rally the full opposition across three major parties in order to defeat the bill. A mere 12 MPs now stand between the Canadian public and the MAFIAA's hungry maw."

Please elaborate on why aboriginals need guaranteed seats. Maybe we should give guaranteed seats to jews, muslims, indians, haitians, homosexual, woman, clowns, dentists, and nurses, too.
On the other hand, aboriginals already have a garanteed seat in the form of the seat for Nunavut.
You should move to America. Things are a ton better over here as anyone who watched the presidential debates can tell you.
I'm surprised Harper hasn't offered to go down on May for Green support to greenwash the Conservatives.
Could someone please help me to the eyewash station? I'm blind now and must eradicate that image from my brain.
