Yes, the US won't be happy until some Canadians are also facing multi-million dollar judgements for sharing a few dozen songs on bit torrent.

Oh - and they want Canada to make writing, distributing, using and even talking about de-drm software illegal too.

Sigh....

Canada should tell the US to shove it! That's what we always do when other countries tell us to obey international law or treaties we ignore when it's to our advantage.

I think we should tell them that our laws are sovereign and off the discussion table for trade agreements. Come back and talk to us when you're prepared to let Canada write USA laws.

This discussion can't really ruffle my Canadian feathers. I'm just waiting for the time when the US sees the light and agrees to become the 11th province. Except for Texas. You can keep Texas, for old time's sake.

Let's trade. For starters, we'll give Texas to Mexico. That leaves 49 states. Now subtract California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. You can have the remaining 44 states in exchange for British Columbia and the Yukon.

Deal?

Michael Geist has a blog post about this as well.

So Canada - a country with intellectual property protections that have been ranked ahead of the U.S., has many copyright rules more restrictive than the U.S., and digital markets growing faster than the U.S. - is once again placed by the U.S. on the watch list while other countries with similar laws are not.

No deals unless we get Hawaii and you take Scarborough!

[just joking Scarborough. I love you. Honestly. But having once lived within your boundaries, I feel I have the right to rag on you a little]

I'll negotiate. Take Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Quebec as well and we may have a deal. Texans as Mexicans could start a major war however.

Interesting that the US thinks our laws are too slack. This from a country that decided their fourth amendment doesn't apply to travelers.

Now they seize laptops,mobile phones and other electronic devices without a warrant and hold them for months while they go on "fishing expeditions" looking for signs of inappropriate activity.

In the past, some of the proposed Canadian laws were worse than those in the US. Luckily they were never passed.

That is what all countries do when they can get away with it. It is called Foreign Policy. You do what you believe is in the best interest of your country. It rarely looks pretty and it is not clean but it is what it is.
