Fair Copyright MontrealThe Montreal group has a great WIKI set up at FairCopyrightMontreal.org. This is an exciting trend to see, as it will allow people in the area to better coordinate with their neighbours to talk to their neighbours and their own elected representatives.
Message to a facebook friend, Mr. DionI posted the following to the discussion forum hosted by Mr Stéphane Dion on Facebook. I am the host of http://KillBillC61.ca , and was also the host of http://KillBillC60.ca. Bill C-61 is the current Conservative Copyright Bill, and Bill C-60 was the Liberal bill tabled in 2005 which was dropped from the order paper when the election was called. While I disagreed with the direction of both bills, the Liberal bill was far more balanced than the Conservative bill.
Letter to Honourable Stéphane Dion, Leader of the Official Opposition: Ideas for CanadaDate: December 19, 2006 Copy to David McGuinty, my MP for Ottawa-South, Your bulk letter from the party suggested people should send you their comments and ideas for Canada. I live in the riding of Ottawa-South, and have been an activist for ideas that directly or indirectly relate to what you call your three-pillared approach. Most recently my time has been dedicated to cultural and innovation policy, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. I'm part of the international movement that supports what people at the UN call "open collaborative methods to produce public goods".

Intellectual Property in the Digital Age: A DiscussionOmar Bickell published an audio recording of the talk in Montreal on November 27.
Montreal area MPsThe Saturday conversation in Montreal was great. Many of the participants seemed interested in working together to help to educate the public and members of parliament on copyright and related issues. We created a Montreal-specific mailing list to continue discussions. Montreal is an important area as you have both the Heritage Minister and the Prime Minister there, members of Heritage committee, and the leader of the Bloc. One thing that would be very helpful is if people in the area could go to the information page for their riding and post something about the local MP. This may help encourage others in the area to get involved as well.
