http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_archives/index.php?fuseaction=genitem.displayItem&lang=eng&rec_nbr=3837041. Please explain why image is public domain in Canada. Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For the reason #1 listed here. - Simon Villeneuve 16:00, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Simon Villeneuve: As mentionned on the link it's not a Government work ("Copyright assigned to Library and Archives Canada by copyright owner Walter Curtin.") and photographer Curtin, Walter, 1911-2007 died less than 50 years ago. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:40, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Copyright assigned to Library and Archives Canada" means that the author have given the copyright to Library and Archives Canada. So it's why I think the #1 reason apply here. - Simon Villeneuve 18:29, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Simon Villeneuve: Archive Canada doesn't say their content is out of copyright, especially commercial use seems not allowed. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 22:00, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is for the content who isn't 50 year old (or where LAC didn't have all the rights on it). This is not the case here. - Simon Villeneuve 22:08, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If Crown copyright works the same in Canada as it does in the UK, then assigning ordinary copyright to the Crown does not magically turn it into Crown copyright. Crown copyright applies to works created by the Crown (and continues to apply even if the copyright is assigned to someone else), and ordinary copyright applies to ordinary works even after copyright is assigned to the Crown. A quick glance at the Canadian Copyright Act seems to support this. --bjh21 (talk) 17:38, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Crown copyright applies only to works created by the government. This work's cpyright is owned by the government, but it still lasts for 50 years pma. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
