I (naively) hoped that this wouldn't re-surface but now that it has, I'm not surprised. Harper and Co. are steadfast in toadying up to Washington and Co. and seem to not only disregard the numerous times similar legislation has been shot down, but the fact that almost this exact same legislation has been shot down everywhere but the US.<p>This in particular is politics at it's worst and anyone that actually uses this line should be ashamed of themselves:<p>"The bill will likely be promoted as protecting public health, however, there is a danger that the provisions could be used to stop the entry of legitimate generic medicines."<p>Right out of the US playbook.
Wow, I can't believe they are still going forward with this. Hopefully Canadians continue to speak up on Copyright issues, and make sure unpopular bills remain so for a reason...
