Here is something that we should be watching, the Senate is holding hearings
into the massive consolidation of Canada's Media. In the States, the

flexing both their big pocketbooks and political muscles, which eventually led to the
DMCA and other "Acts against Humanity". Here is the CBC URL on the story...
