Hi David. I've just finished organizing our "Canadian Copyright Law"
page on the wiki
(http://www.jenzed.com/pgcawiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CanadaCopyright). This
merges contributions from Gardner and information gleaned from this
thread on the mailing list:
http://lists.pglaf.org/private.cgi/pgcanada/2005-January/000180.html.

I used Andrew's text regarding the kinds of content that PG Canada could
legally publish. However, the thread continued into deeper water, such
as whether or not a 1924 term extension law is retroactive ... my eyes
glazed over.

Would you mind looking over the current wiki page, confirming that it's
legally correct, and pointing out any gaps? I don't think we need to be
concerned about edge cases at this stage, but it would be good to know
in general where we legally stand. thx!


jen.
