Well... if it's public domain in Canada, it means a Canadian can publish derived works with Winnie the Pooh and other characters. If the derived work happens to have exactly the same words as the original, as long as the Canadian in question does not claim it to be an original work of his, what's the problem? Publishing scans of a non-Canadian edition may be illegal, but publishing the
text, the
words?
