Comments on: Bill C-61: Crappy AND Unpopular http://www.krankor.com/2008/06/24/bill-c-61-crappy-and-unpopular/ That's right, I went there.

ISPs make all this money on illegal downloads, you see, and the bill doesn't do enough to beat them up over it.

The translation was a bit dicey (and my French is dicier by an order of magnitude), but I was disappointed in the response nonetheless. The gist of it was, "Canada needs to do something right away to comply with existing copyright treaties, so the Bloc is planning to vote in favour of C-61 in principle, with the intention of fixing its problems in committee afterward." I do hope the translation was screwed up, 'cuz that's a damn shitty response. I ran across a blog where somebody had posted a response on C-61 from his or her Bloc MP.

Frankly, given my knowledge of the political climate outside Montreal, I don't understand why the Reform Party never made any breakthrough in the rural region around Quebec City.

However, some Quebeckers love to have Big Brother looking over their shoulder, so maybe the poll result is legit. Youneverknow.
