If there's a time to get political, the time is now when the new bill is being introduced. I'll write more on this as I read more on it. In the mean time, some simple things you can do if you use Facebook: join the Fair Copyright for Canada group, as well as our own isoHunt group on Facebook. There may come a time when will perhaps organize rallies of some sort, so lets stay in touch.

Another big one to watch referenced in Geist's post is the ACTA, a sneaky trade agreement to turn border patrols into copyright enforcers. Imagine P2P software/downloads banned (authorized distribution or not), and your laptop confiscated because it carries contraband digital bits. All very draconian, and fortunately with the Internet and Wikileaks, no secret is safe.
