I found some amusing guidance on who can serve as a director for federally-incorporated corporations in Canada.

5. Can a corporation be a director on the Board of Directors?

No, directors must be individuals.

Subsection 105(1) of the CBCA, disqualifies from being a director:

a) anyone who is less than eighteen years of age;

b) anyone of unsound mind;

c) a person who is not an individual;

d) and a person who has the status of bankrupt

How far do you suppose c) goes? Is there a test for individuality? E.g. if you watch too much television or rarely state your opinion, do you lose points?

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
