I just read this. Not a lot of time to explain what's happening but this is a serious revoke of our rights in Canada and it's being brought about by US groups. Give the page a read, if you agree sign at the bottom and hit send.

The balls. Those motherfuckers seem to think that just because they share a border, they can force bullshit over-abused copyright laws on you people. NOT. COOL. :x

Over the past few weeks the Wikipedia entry for this topic, and Jim Prentice's entry, have been repeatedly edited to remove any critisim claims against this bill. The edits have been tracked back to the Canadian Ministry Office as well.

Actually it's on the edge apparently. The NDP doesn't support it, but for some reason the BQ does. Still waiting to hear from the liberals.

Judging from past behaviours, I expect the Conservative Reform Alliance Party will either try to sneak it in through the back door, or try for force an election over it to bring the liberals to heel.
