Canada's Conference Board Found Plagiarizing Copyright Report

An anonymous reader writes "There is a storm brewing in Canada as the prestigious Conference Board of Canada has been caught plagiarizing US copyright lobby group documents in a report on copyright reform. The report was funded by the Canadian copyright lobby as well as by the Ontario government. The Conference Board has acknowledged some errors, but stands by the report, while the Ontario government admits spending thousands of dollars and it now wants some answers."

Football's not a sport, at least not as practiced in the NCAA or the NFL. Football amounts to a human trial on every possible growth hormone known to science.

My perspective, as a guy who likes to play few sports (raquetball, tennis, ultimate frisbee), is that sports like american football, soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. is that they're all about a bunch of genetic freaks, anyway. I lost interest way before the hormone stuff.

And FYI, what you said about football is at least as true for baseball. It's the one that's come under scrutiny for widespread doping recently.

Good luck in the US and I hope TSA treats you ok. Nationalism is the opiate of the masses.
