Oh Canada!

Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, and one of our few public intellectuals, consistently advocates for Canadian interests in the face of pressures from the United States.

Recently he has argued against Canada blindly following American proposals (or worse) for new copyright legislation and broadcast control - but it was today's editorial on reducing Canada's innovation deficit and the importance of ensuring access to publically-funded research that really caught my attention and gets my full support.
