  • Talk about it: write a blog post, put a video on YouTube, send a letter to the editor; whatever works for you. The point is that our collective audience is large and influential.
  • Send an email in support of Network Neutrality to your MP (search by postal code), cc Industry Minister Maxime Bernier (Minister.Industry@ic.gc.ca), Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Harper.S@parl.gc.ca), Leader of the Opposition Stephan Dion (Dion.S@parl.gc.ca) and Leader of the New Democratic Party Jack Layton (Layton.J@parl.gc.ca). If anyone wants to volunteer to write a standard letter, be my guest.
  • File a complaint with the CRTC

    • And before anyone calls me out on it, no – I haven’t had a chance to do all of these myself yet. I’m just sharing my first steps with you as I figure them out ;)

    We’ve watched our brothers to the south in America fight the telco industry for net neutrality, and now the fight is on to keep net neutrality in Canada. Michael Geist has brought to the public’s attention what the current thinking on net neutrality is in front of the Industry Minister, and we’re in trouble. It might as well be straight from one of the telco’s PR flaks themselves. And get this: Rogers and Bell won’t even answer my colleague Amber MacArthur when asked about it!

    Over the next while you’re going to hear me, and other bloggers in Canada banging the drum of this issue loudly. We will not roll over while major corporations ruin the most democratizing force, the biggest channel of personal expression and the most powerful enabler of innovation in human history. We cannot count on these major corporations to keep the citizens interests above their own quest for profit. Enron, Worldcom and actions of these very companies in Canada (I will be talking about them soon) have shown us that we must hold their feet to the fire.

    I hereby call on my most respected Canadian blogging colleagues to speak up and blog immediately on this issue, we need to hear your voices: Boris Mann, Caterina Fake, Darren Barefoot, Derek K. Miller, Kris Krug, Richard Eriksson, Roland Tanglao, Austin Hill, Rannie Turnigan, Robert Paterson, Michael Fergusson, Tara Hunt, Tod Maffin, Jeremy Wright, Megan Cole, Rob Cottingham, Sarah Pullman, Travis Smith, Troy Angrinon, Brian Lamb, Alexandra Samuel, Robert Scales,
