Canada's budget which just released, said that they plan to do similar legislation in the summer. I do hope they follow through as described.

I think its a great move forward. There were some significant differences. Europe is going down the obligated cost-effective repairs. Inevitably europe will be under constant problems of 'cost-effective' definitions. Not to mention extended warranties. Per country as well makes that a huge mess.

Whereas Canada seems to be going down the road that you're moreso allowed to repair your own. You similarly get access to parts and tools, but no obligation from the manufacturer.

Canada's big one is that copyrights may be violated for any repairs. Canada becomes the pirate/crack capital of the world after this. I love it!
