We can try however here is a quote from

If all of this seems like a lot of work to get non-free media playback
up and running, please remember that Ubuntu's hands are tied by patents
and license restrictions in some countries. Look to the future and make
sure that "Digital Rights Managent" (DRM) and similar restrictions are
carefully monitored by you, the open source community and free software
users.



They may not be willing to take on the risk. However if we distance them
somewhat via another org and try as best we can to stay within Canadian
law, then maybe they will.

Aw but I loved the idea of putting TUX in a mountie uniform. That would
address another one of my pet peeves which is the RCMP's presumption to
control that image.
