  Given the importance of the Montreal area which contains the PM, leader
of the Bloc, the Heritage Minister, and other important MPs, I have set up
a special mailing list for local organizing.

  Try to keep the policy discussions here so that everyone can
participate.

   I don't know which MP is most likely to be able to reach, so people
should try first to connect with their own MP.  Let them know that the
petition has already been approved by the Office of the Clerk of
Petitions.  http://www.digital-copyright.ca/discuss/4065

  The idea is to try to sit down with the MP and explain the petition, why
it is important, and how current directions suggested from flawed
consultation processes diverge from it.
