Writing in the News, Peter MacKay the Minister for Defence wrote about what Canadians talked to him about on Canada Day.  He says that health care for children was the first issue, and then names Bill C-61 (the Canadian DMCA Act) as the second.

Its interesting to note that he doesn’t talk about what was said, what the concerns that were brought up to him were, nor does he address them directly. What he does is over up the same official talking points that the Conservatives have been using from the introduction of this bill (and if you recall, the same talking points that Michael Geist predicted they would use).  The fact that he feels the need to bring the topic up tells me that he wasn’t exactly getting positive feedback on the topic.  The fact that all he does, given the platform to address the questions and issues that were brought up to him, is regurgitate the same lies we’ve heard over and over… well, this just reiterates what I’ve suspected all along: Stephen Harper and his Conservative government don’t care what we think.  They won’t listen t what we tell them.  Which means they won’t do what their constituents need them to do.

Time to bring them down. They certainly would if the tables were turned.
