It seems that Europe wants copyrights in Canada to last longer, and they want to
take away 20 YEARS of OUR (not their) public domain!
They call that "free trade"? We call it European colonialism!
In Canada, we don't let foreign governments write our laws !
L'Europe, semble-t-il, cherche à nous
enlever 20 ANS de NOTRE domaine public,
sous prétexte de «libre-échange»!
Nous disons NON au colonialisme européen!
Au Canada, nous n'acceptons pas que des gouvernements étrangers nous imposent leurs lois !
