Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore made headlines last month when he called opponents of his US-style copyright bill “radical extremists” and urged his supporters to “confront them” at every turn.
Now the Minister is declining requests from his local mainstream press to defend his own bill, which ignores the results of his own public consultation, wherein an overwhelming majority of Canadians were against protecting “digital locks” on ebooks, movies, games, and music: “Moore, who besides being heritage minister is also the Conservative MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, refused to comment on Bill C-32.”
Chicken.
