Here we go again...this time in Canada. This bill is basically the Canadian equivalent of SOPA and PIPA. Of course, it has gone almost entirely unnoticed and it needs to be stopped.

So what now Escapists? What do you think of this? What can be done to stop it?

*Facedesks* Not this shit again. God damn if I have to migrate down to America because of this I will have to give up on life.

Is there anything international people can do about this? Like for SOPA we could sign a petition that went to the State Department. Let us know if there's anything similar for you guys.

Jee I wish I knew. However, I barely even know how to oppose it here in Canada! I'll update the OP if I find out something.

Pick a rep, preferably your own along with Harper, and let them know how you feel. That site will send a standardized email to them. Alter it as you see fit.

Perfect! Thank you for posting this. Now all I can do is hope that others will follow suit.

A positive outcome is dubious. If there's one thing wrong with Canada, it's apathy about politics. Well, that and Rob Ford.

I was just about to post that same link, but since it's been done, I'll just bump the thread.





(Is bumping against the rules? I do have a clean record anyway. Meh, it's important, whatevs)

 

[Stormz]

Not really surprised. Canada pretty much copies whatever the US does so it was bound to happen eventually. Sometimes I'm grateful to be Canadian, and then this shit happens.

 

[Sandytimeman]

wow, the whole world is trying to kill the internet. Why can't they just let us be T_T

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Well, I'll be sending one of those pre-made emails to my representative. I do not approve of this Canada and you will hear of it.

 

[CobraX]

Glad to see the new conservative majority government keeping up the good work! (Sarcasm)

Time to go send some letters to my so-called representative.

Done! Like hell I'm going to let this pass without a fight.

 

[Revnak_v1legacy]

Was going to wait until there were a couple more articles linked to form an opinion, then I noticed how in the article the bill's supporters are quoted specifically calling out YouTube and Google. Really, what is with these people? Let's just hope this one gets shot in the foot too. Could somebody please get a link so us internationals can voice our opinions? That would be pretty sweet.

good god man, how many metaphorical bullets to the head does this thing need before it stays down? jason voorhees hasn't gotten back up this many times.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

WHAT. THE. FLYING. FUCK!? Why!? Why can't they just leave our Internet be for shits sake!?

Seriously, this is getting absolutely ridiculous! What the Hell are we supposed to do?! They DON'T STOP! And they probably won't stop until the Internet is policed, and we can't do a damn thing anymore! Piracy is a problem, but why can't the governments be SMART for once!? God dammit this is pissing me off to no end!

Do I have to stop using the Internet to be free of the bullshit!? Cause I WILL go without it if these bills are not gonna stop!

Probably a case of not biting the hand that feeds you, i.e. the conservatives.
