Is Canada’s internet going quietly into the night?
A handful of companies that are losing their main stream media hegemony and credibility are now searching for extra revenue sources. Unions such as ACTRA, The Writers Guild of Canada and others, still reeling from 45 million in cuts for the arts, are looking for ISP’s to pony up a 3% tax to fuel the creation of Canadian new media content.The CRTC is looking for your input.

This mammoth undertaking was code-named "Project 2," and the International Herald Tribune described the towering monolithic structures as looming like an information-age nuclear plant. "Cloud Computing" will be the total control of the Internet by the New World Order elite. Good Luck finding opposing views, independent news. The propaganda machine has a new medium.
If youtube charges 10 cents for every download then the problem is solved. Most bootleg recordings are of poor quality and sound anyway so 10 cents is all they are worth, if that, ... better to charge nothing and generate interest so someone can go to itunes and pay 99 cents for the official product per song. If the bootlegs are of such concern why doesn't the music company put them out as an official release, because they are worth nothing and no one would buy them!
3% from ISP's and INVASION OF PRIVACY, ... it ain't gonna happen! No one wants to know my name when I go into a store to buy music, ... they just want my money, same thing online.
The major internet suppliers argue that there is too much traffic and they have to CONTROL the internet by slowing it down at these times. This CANNOT be allowed to take place because it is all about CONTROL and has nothing to do with too many people using the internet at the same time. Just make the infra structure bigger if this is the case to begin with. Whatever story anyone of these major suppliers tell you, ... don't believe them. IT IS ALL ABOUT GETTING CONTROL OVER YOU AND YOUR SPENDING HABITS AND WHAT YOU SPEND ON ETC ETC ETC.
Do not let it happen.
Do not let yourself become a SLAVE to the corporate wealthy and elite.
TAKE ACTION. FIGHT BACK. WRITE LETTERS. DON'T VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT DOES NOT READ YOUR LETTERS OR PROVIDE A REASONABLE REAL RESPONSE. RUN FOR OFFICE YOURSELF, you certainly don't think you can do any worse than all the lawyers and Harvard grads that are in charge, ... do you, ... is it even possible to do so.
THE GOVERNMENT IS A MERE PUBLIC SERVANT.
THE PUBLIC IS THE MASTER.
... as soon as people realize this then half the problems that exist will fix themselves immediately without anyone doing anything.
ROLLIN' THUNDER
... i hope this isn't too much thunder !
