You there! In Canada! The CRTC is currently accepting submissions from the public about net neutrality.
Right now, internet access is not regulated in Canada. This allows your internet service provider (Shaw, Rogers, Bell, etc.) to speed up, slow down and block your access to websites and services as it sees fit.
A free and open internet is important for democracy, for communication, business and innovation. You pay for internet access and you should be able to visit anything you want without the interference of your internet service provider.
Please consider sending a submission to the CRTC. There is a form you can fill out to send them a letter so it is relatively painless to do. The deadline for making a submission is tomorrow, Monday February 23.
The petition, CRTC letter and lots of information can be found here.
If you are in the US, you can find out what's happening with the FCC here.
