  By the way, I sent a copy of my article on the UEFI issue 
http://c11.ca/5361 to my member of provincial parliament (MPP, sometimes 
called MLA's in other provinces).  Property law is properly the 
jurisdiction of the provinces, and I have been writing my MPP about the 
jurisdictional issues with the federal "Copyright" bill for years now.

  My MPP is Ontario Primier Dalton McGuinty, and while he has forwarded 
my letters on to Ontario Ministers, I have never received an answer on 
this issue from any of them.


  If we can flood MPP/MLA's with letters on this issue, that might wake 
them up to the problems.

  Maybe if this group doesn't dive into a paper petition, then a letter 
writing campaign might be of interest?
