Over the past few months the government of Canada is holding a national forum to try and get a feel for what it’s citizens think of the current state of copyright in our country. Even though initially I thought this was a brilliant opportunity, our representatives seem to value the opinions of big business more than taxpayers with the trends swinging over to support implied draconian copyright law extensions and imposing a DMCA clone. 

Though, as citizens, there is something you can do about it if you don’t agree with that notion. (something tells me that most don’t)  The Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights or CCER have a letter template and submission form that you can use and even customize to write your opinion on the matter and it will email and snail-mail your letter to the Copyright Consultations administrator, Tony Clement, James Moore, Marc Garneau, Pablo Rodriguez, Charlie Angus and Stephen Harper. 

I wrote my own and sent it in. I would suggest that you do, as well.
