This just might have stemmed from the Softwood Lumber dispute. And the live cattle ban that the US has in place as well. A 'tit for tat' if you will.
As for softwood, an International Court has ruled that the US is illegaly charging tariffs on Canadian Softwood lumber crossing the border.
As for the live cattle ban, what a farce, the border is not closed, Americans are buying the cattle here in Canada, having them processed, and then shipping the products over the border, to their huge profit gains. And dont get me started on the lax USDA' BSE testing. Sad to say, but you Americans are eating some very tainted beef products. Some of you are crazy enough as it is, now you get to sue your beef provider chain. Have fun. Lawsuits work for you, not for the rest of the world. Especially not us Canadians.
So, how does this lead to Canadian law not recognising the DMCA, well, our asshats think your asshats made a pretty stoopid law. So we wont put into place the same thing. We have laws protecting copyrighted works. nuff said. Copyright theft, is copyright theft. We have laws for that. We don't need the rest of the totalitarian threats behind the Act. Besides, in Canada, its not illegal to download copyrighted works, partly because, that act is not against the law here. It is against the law to upload copyrighted works. And that works for us.
Much akin to your Patriot Act. What a crock. Its called "Freedom of Speech". Besides, the terrorists we do have here, are probably tax paying citizens anyway, they drive our cabs, our busses, and they clean our offices. We don't have many Mexicans or Puerto Ricans here. Something about the cold...
It's bad enough that SOX got rammed down our throats. This is just another way for Canadians to say "Not in our Land"
Turn into an Arrow?
The Arrow was cancelled for some cheapo subsonic rockets, and even cheaper subsonic semi-retired fighter jets.
But since the project isn't govt funded, we can all rest easy that it will be successful, profitable, and our MP's can afford a comfy pension. How us Canadian's voted back a party, and Prime Minister who are proven crooks is beyond me.
But then again we can turn right on red lights, and every now and then we can turn left on a red too.
It's the going straight part that seems to cause problems *shrug* Who knew?!?!
Oh, and I suppose we have an abundance of hot air here in the west, all those cows just lazing around, not being eaten and all, might as well put some of that methane to good use eh!
You can make it illegal, but you can't make it unpopular.
By the time Longhorn ships, we will have 0.5" think laptops running at 3Ghz with quad cores, and blu-ray players will be rife in the market.
Not to mention hovercars, antigrav boots, and cloned pets...
