Canada is currently in a minority government position with popular vote also being split very evenly across the country.
Since the current government in Canada is a Conservative 'minority government', and the usual byproduct of a minority government is special interest groups having larger spheres of power. It would be somewhat safe to assume that 90,000 people in a Facebook group would have some sort of say and influence regarding a special interest bill (such as C-61).
Copyright issues even for big media is not enough for a politician in Canada to torpedo his chance of looking 'current' with technological issues and possibly losing votes in the 18-40 demographic.
