According to the media link, the person who uploaded the youtube video also uploaded one advocating Dion for the liberal leadership- any chance it’s a party staffer for the libs?

If it is a staffer..
If it is a Liberal staffer, I would like to find out who – the Liberals are still generally stuck in the 1980’s on copyright and other technology law. Someone who knows what YouTube and user generated content is could be a great asset in modernizing the party. It just might stop the Liberals from attacking our right to own and control modern communications technology.
