   Seriously? Yoko Ono’s company really needs to take a chill pill or two.

   So, how many bet this will be spun as radical leftist censorship during an election campaign, rather than the usual consequences of copyright?

   I love it when any politician gets there videos taken down. I don’t care their political stance. Until politicians start being impacted by their own ridiculous laws we won’t see meaningful change.

   Sadly, it might be the only way this party will get the message. It is most disappointing that the video was taken down however thousands of videos will disappear before the end of the day with even less use of copyrighted material than Harper used.

   Did the “balanced approach” sought in C-61 include any foresight on Canadians fair-use works being improperly taken down and claimed as copyright by another?

   Re: Spin
   Good. And for the record it is a political statement not a copyright issue. Have a look on youtube, there are lots of other versions available including one of Bill Clinton. Presumably she still believes in the message contained within the song.

   Right on, Yoko. I bet, if Trudeau had recorded a version on YouTube, she wouldn’t take that one down. Trudeau was cool & hip & once met with John & Yoko to discus world issues & peace. Harper is the anti-hip
