I’ve tried campaigning against him, but the Liberals were disorganized and the NDP rep. flighty and voter-unfriendly in the last election, so he easily won again. The guy got a job as an MP right out of university – he has no work experience outside of politics and radio. He talks for a living, but there’s no sign that he actually understands any of the more complicated issues he’s dealing with.

This issue in particular I feel strongly about, as an open-source software advocate. I don’t like the idea that I need to be a criminal to watch legally-purchased content, or to break locks on my cellphone or XBox other pieces of consumer electronics. It’s one thing for there to be laws against piracy – which there already are – and quite another for there to be laws that provide corporations with an undue amount of control over a device they sell me once it’s in my hands.

Thanks for your great video and essay, and I hope it helps spread the word, even though it doesn’t look like it really matters how many words have been said about the issue anymore…. the Conservatives will proceed how they like, national opinion be damned.

Keep up the good fight, I don’t believe a single person under the age of 30 or who understands the new electronic world would agree that Bill C-32 is acceptable.
