The Toronto chapter of Fair Copyright for Canada put on a remarkable event last night at the Edward Day Gallery. Alongside about 100 attendees, were several NDP and Liberal MPs including Charlie Angus, Peggy Nash, Guelph candidate Tom King, and Borys Wrzesnewskyj. More than half of the ridings in the GTA were represented with plans for future meetings. I delivered the keynote address on the Canadian copyfight. Unfortunately, my attempt to audio record the talk failed, but I'll post the presentation with new audio shortly.
