Notwithstanding those reassurances, Canadian officials acknowledged the border measures issues were still unresolved. Moreover, days later a European briefing offered a somewhat different take on the copyright provisions. La Quadrature du Net, a leading European NGO, reports that the European Commission confirmed that the controversial criminal ACTA provisions were still included in the CETA draft.
The reports have sparked a wave of new concern (see here, here, here, here, and here) with suggestions that ACTA is “back from the dead in Europe.”
Reconciling the conflicting reports is possible, given that Canadian officials stated that no Copyright Act provisions would require change as a result of CETA. The inclusion of border measures and criminal provisions could require other legislative changes, resulting in a deceptive (albeit accurate) response. Indeed, Canadian officials said in August that the criminal ACTA provisions were still alive. The uncertainty and public concern raises the prospect of CETA facing serious opposition within Europe due to the copyright provisions. For example, the Dutch government has said it will not sign CETA if it includes ACTA provisions. While the patent issues are a major Canadian issue, copyright could emerge as a big problem for the agreement in Europe should ACTA provisions resurface within CETA.

the process of letting other governments do what they want in Canada… as long as they buy here…
is a LOT more convoluted than realized.
would you like a list of secret treaties giving foreign governments more power in canada than candians have?
“from the green party…”
Canada-China Investment Treaty.
Although Stephen Harper prefers to keep Canadians in the dark about
this Agreement’s grave implications for our sovereignty, security, and
democracy, I am hopeful that we can force the issue into daylight.
I have other examples.. the NAFTA, etc.

I suspect the thought on the ‘hills’ is that people will eventually fatigue of fighting these issues and they will be passed in some subtext somewhere.
So thanks & keep up the good work of keeping us all aware.
This is why politicians have to be removed.
I suggest one a week, until the remainder understand the danger of betraying their trust.

No news here, really
Until people learn to use Full Circle or Tor or whatever comes by to truly secure their privacy, then the opportunity will exist to control what people see and to make them pay for it, and then you can expect that some will always want whatever needs to be done to stop piracy, which means to make true privacy impossible, which changes everything.

In fact, when I asked directly whether the text would require changes to current Canadian copyright law, the response was that it would not.
