It really needs one. Cory Doctorow went to work for the EFF despite being Canadian probably because the Canadian analogues are pretty weak and disorganized by comparison.

Open Media is pretty good at social media and pressure campaigns.

The BCCLA is top notch if you actually need to win a court case. When they take on a case they don't fuck around, and they have high powered lawyers working pro-bono for them.

The great thing about the EFF is they're not as narrowly focused. Open Media is pretty good, but they pick their fights more carefully and don't tackle social or ethical issues the same was the EFF does.
