Hill Times journalists Abbas Rana, Simon Doyle and Harris MacLeod have assembled a list of 57 ridings in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, where the parties won or lost by a margin of about five per cent or less in the last federal election. This is a superset of what Michael Geist called the Copyright MPs which won their riding by 10 percent or less in the last election and their riding is home to a university.

The August issue of Standon's "Staying Connected" lists riding events, including a Copyright town hall.

August 28'th -- Copyright Reform
Coldwater -- Royal Canadian Legion Branch 270 (2 Michael Anne Dr.) 7pm-9pm

Folks from Toronto have organized a bus and made a facebook event. Looking forward to reading summaries/etc.

Election 2006: Please add comments to discuss riding specific activities, links to candidate information, etc.

Incumbent information

Simcoe North / Simcoe-Nord
MP: Hon. Paul DeVillers (Parliamentary Internet)

;:To: Philippa Lawson, Executive Director, CIPPIC

;:From: Paul DeVillers, Liberal candidate, Simcoe North

;:Date: June 22, 2004

;:RE: your questionnaire on law and technology issues

;:Thank you for your efforts to survey parties and candidates about these issues. I must admit, however, that my personal experience has not given me much expertise in regard to these issues. However, I will do my best to clarify my position on each question.

;:1. re Music File-sharing

;:I understand that arguments can be made on both sides of this issue. However, given the need to protect the rights of those who create music and/or who produce it, I feel the law must attempt to prevent the wholesale copying of materials-especially when that copying can be shown to cut into the proceeds from sales.
