Is it not the case that copyright is determined by the country of origin for signatories to the Berne Convention (inc. Canada)?
So British works, for example, would be copyrighted in Canada for life + 70, as they would be in Britain.
Unless I've misunderstood the Convention, which is a distinct possibility

Doh, just double checked and seems local copyright applies to foreign works - apologies for the confusion
