I agree. Even just a Canadian spin or Canadian arm to some of the FSF 
campaigns could be a start. For example, they've just launched the End 
Software Patents campaign. I hear a ton about US Patent Law, and even 
the issue of software patents in the European Union, but I know next to 
nothing about the Canadian law in this respect.

Adding a Canadian component to existing campaigns could be a start. It's 
something that might be easier to do to get the ball rolling, before 
creating and launching any of our own unique initiatives.
