Re:Unconstitutional? (Score 1)

Oh, you don't want to rely on the Canadian constitution to stop a Canadian DMCA. The constitution up here is so vague and our judges are so erratic in its interperation, its pretty unreliable. Three cases in point. One, we have an election "gag" laws that limits 3rd party spending during elections to $1000. How's that for campaign finance reform? A judge during the last election refused to suspend the law. Two, the Quebec government used something called a "not-withstanding" clause in the constitution to basically ignore the Canadian Supreme Court and continue to violate free-speech with their language laws. Not that governments do this very often but they rarely need to with our courts. Third, and most damning, in a court decision last year our supreme court made the statement that free speech in not an inviolate right in Canada and that other government may supress it for the common good. In Canada, we give our government emmense power and trust them not to abuse it. Generally, I think they do a pretty good job but they haven't trampled my rights yet.
