Gearing up to kill the upcoming Canadian copyright law

There is an upcoming copyright law that promises to be something like
the US DMCA. The Conservative gov't has released absolutely no
information about this upcoming bill, likely for the reason that a
large public debate would reveal that most of us don't support such a
law. Anyway, Michael Geist, as per usual, has some great blog posts
about this one, but the latest about who to talk to is a great one
[1]. So please, take some time out of your day to send some or all of
these people your thoughts on the upcoming copyright law. Talk about
how it will hurt Canadian innovations via hurting Open Source and Free
Software, not to mention movements like Wikipedia and the Creative
Commons.
