I previously hoped that New Zealand being granted a somewhat broader public domain deal than Canada was an oversight, but it is true.

As I read it, a large number of eBooks today available, on Canadian public domain sites, will have to be removed for up to 20 years. If someone can find a way to twist the wording otherwise, please let us know it.
Perhaps Canada's focus on maintaining the tariffs protecting its agricultural industry blinded them to the little things such as this .
