Exactly.
And since the Conservatives have already tried twice to amend the Copyright act, failing horribly once and being interrupted the second time, it stands to reason that they would try a third time if they once again come to power. And a majority Conservative pgovernment would succeed, and resistance would be futile.
Thankfully, with Bill C-32, the other parties were able to reign the tories in long enough to prevent it from being signed into law.
