Anything to win mentality from the Harper Cons: Opposition parties say sneaking in a change to the Copyright Act in the massive bill is “deceitful” and designed to give the Conservative campaign an edge ahead of next year’s federal election. “Changing copyright law … to improve their odds of winning over the Canadian public as opposed to improving copyright law to improve the economy, let’s say, is disrespectful,” NDP finance critic Nathan Cullen told CTV News. “And to bury it in the middle of an omnibus bill suggests that they knew this wouldn’t be popular.” Cullen said using material gathered by journalists for attack-ad purposes without having to ask for news outlets’ permission is “disrespectful” and “shameful.” ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/conservatives-to-change-copyright-law-allowing-free-use-of-news-content-in-political-ads-1.2046197
