Hi Neil.  Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) such as ARIN simply 
distribute certain Internet resources (and perform other services such as 
training) as directed by their membership.

I don't see how RIRs come in to this argument at all.

Canada (and other nations) may well create legislation aligned with SOPA 
but it won't have anything to do with how they source IP addreses or As 
numbers.

Cheers,

Rob
