To: Jenni Byrne,
Dear Jenni,
re: www.ipodtax.ca
I have received your email with the link to ipodtax.ca. I am replying here since your email address will not accept my email. I am a conservative but I don't think scare-mongering is a good thing to do, it is rather transparent and annoys the recipient.
It might be a good idea to address the problem that the tax is intended to address and that is how to compensate the creators of intellectual property for their work in a fair manner. Now that distribution by records, tapes, CDs and DVDs is down the tubes, how do the creators, of which I am one, get compensated? If it is not solved there will be very little original creation done and we can just lay down and die under the tsunami of remixing and karaoke pulp from the US which passes for pop culture so let's hear your solution.
I feel that the Conservative party is doing nothing to solve this problem, nothing to protect creators of intellectual property and nothing about the defense of a fragile Canadian culture against overwhelming American invasion. It seems the party's attitude is, if rape is inevitable, lay back and enjoy it.
And, by the way, would you please set out in clear language how the conservative party intends to support the CBC, if it does intend to support it at all?
Mind you, I think the HTML programming that went into creating ipodtax.ca is brilliant and I am thinking of using large chunks of the programming to improve my own website. Fair enough?

This is rather symptomatic, I sent the above message to Jenni Byrne at that email address and received the following as a result: Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
hereforcanada@conservative.ca
There's a problem with the recipient's mailbox. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you.
It seems the 'Here For Canada' campaign only speaks, it doesn't listen.
