Maybe I just need a break (I’m glad the Christmas holidays are coming), but a few things have been bugging me lately. So here goes my miscellaneous rant.

There would be no Canadian DMCA, ie no legal protection for DRM, and more balanced copyright laws that reflect modern reality. (Thanks to Michael and the groundswell against the proposed act, this may actually be a possibility.)

Governments would not pass laws based on motherhood causes without taking a cold hard look at whether that law or policy will actually right the perceived wrong, and whether it might cause collateral damage.

Kibosh anything that chills innovation and creativity.

Build a performing arts centre here in London. Lets get on with it, do it right, and find some creative ways to finance it.

Simplify legal documents. We can distill the practical effect of many documents, whether they are business to business or business to consumer, to a much smaller size than they typically exist.

Get Canada back out on the front edge of the communications curve. Cable TV was pioneered here in London – but we now lag on many fronts for many reasons. Now we can only envy other parts of the world for things like much lower cell/data rates, cutting edge phones, and fiber to the home.

Invent cold fusion and solve the energy/pollution crisis.

Always let science get in the way of a cause.

Declare chocolate a food group.
