    If you think C-61 is bad (and it is BAD), check out the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement(the next logical step after C-61):

    ACTA is a "trade agreement", not a bill, so I'm not even sure what Canadians can do to stop it other than spread awareness of it.

    C-61 and things like it are why it's so important to get politicians and civil servants engaged in things like DemoCamp. If the only people who bother to talk to them are special interest groups (the recording industry, old-industry unions, or whatever), it's *our* fault if the laws we get don't serve the interests of society as a whole. Saying "we're here, they'd be welcome, there's nothing stopping them from coming out" is about as useful as saying "I've got a product that's so great I don't need to market it".

    I generally support the Conservatives, but when governments start gobbling up personal freedoms it's bad for everyone. I've sent letters to Jim Prentice and my local MP and I encourage everyone I talk to do the same. Once elected politicians realize they're pissing off the people who support them, their minds open a little.

    I wish more politicians would realize they are pissing people off......it seems like some just don't care
