Why wouldnt WMC be interested in changes to laws in Canada that reduce
free cultural exchange?

Michael Geist does a great job of explaining it.

Canada is one of the last remaining bastians against the US-led IP
reforms occurring across the world.  normalising at 70pma isnt the
objective.  As soon as all major nations are 70pma, we'll see a higher
number adopted by some countries, and the other nations will be forced
to normal again, at a higher number.
