Say NO to Canada’s Censorship Plan!

Send Ian Scott an invite for patio beers to talk Internet regulation — just like he did with Bell!
At an Ottawa pub in broad daylight, the CRTC chair sat down for beers with Bell’s CEO — an official, registered lobbying meeting — just weeks after Bell filed its appeal of the CRTC’s 2019 wholesale rates. Let’s invite Ian Scott for a beer too, as this seems to be how we'd get our voices heard.
The CRTC just screwed Canadians, and only the government can fix it.
In a shameless policy reversal, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) just scrapped its own lower Internet wholesale rates from 2019 and reverted to the oppressively high 2016 rates — despite us already paying some of the highest prices in the world!

Tell Minister Champagne: Protect our phones from fraud!
SIM card fraud is a type of identity theft where scammers gain control of your phone number and online accounts through your cell phone service provider. We need clear, strong and transparent rules with real solutions to stop it.
