Answer 1

You cannot copyright it in one province only. That is because copyright law comes under the jurisdiction of federal government.

Look through the Yellow Pages in theWinnipeg phonebook and find a lawyer works in the area of copyright law, then make an appointment and go see him. Yeah, it will cost some money, but one of the first rules of business is that you have to spend money in order to make money.
