The rules for Canada's notice-and-notice regime will change following the passing of C-86, the Budget Implementation Act. Moving forward, rightsholders will not be allowed to send copyright infringement notices for ISPs to pass onto their customers, if they contain a direct or indirect offer to settle. The development effectively ends Rightscorp-style business models in Canada.

    It seems to be a lot less far reaching than a U.S. government shutdown, a condition where practically all Federal functions find themselves without even daily operating funds and are unable to issue paychecks to federal employees.

    Of course, they somehow find enough to keep people in position to keep citizens from enjoying public parks, so there's a bit of petty theater going on as well.

    That all seems like a weird way to run a country.

      Frankly, it's batshit insane. This is why our Congress and president often score lower in popularity than bird flu.

    See my post down the page. Basically if a government can't pass a supply bill, they fall and resign, usually leading to an election.
    Their job is to run the country, which especially includes paying the bills.
