ermm....

It's clear that Karl is feeling frisky today (quite enjoyed the earlier metered bandwidth diatribe), but this isn't news anywhere other than DSLReports, and probably won't be on May 27th either. It's likely that the entire group of protesters can be escorted away in one minivan.

Psst... Rocky is using you, but doesn't realize that the professional ranters who frequent DSLR don't get out much for protesting.

I think you are right. The # of protesters(other than TekSavvy employees) will probably be counted on 2 hands.

Net Neutrality means no discrimination!

Network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet without restrictions.

Net Neutrality prevents Internet Service Providers from speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its sources, ownership or destination.

The principles of Net Neutrality are important to ensure the Internet provides a real opportunity for all Canadians to speak with their own voices. The loss of Net Neutrality would end all opportunity for freedom of expression.

The time is now to end throttling, traffic-shaping, including bandwidth caps and overage fees! Net Neutrality is about equal access to the Internet.

Re: ermm....

"don't count your chickens before they hatch" I bring your attention to the number of special elections here in the USA where one in particular, a strong Republican district since the 70's last week elected a Democrat. My point? People everywhere are fed up and the backlash has begun.

Net neutrality has nothing to do with bandwidth caps or overage fees, and by co-opting the phrase to suit your agenda you're damaging the cause of people who really have reason to be concerned.

You seem to doubt the hatred that most canadians have for ma bell, I think this will have quite the turnout.

People don't go to protests just because they happen to hate a utility company, and political nuts who DO go to protests aren't turding around protesting utility companies.

We shall see who is right.

Reasons for your claim?
Seriously, what is your purpose for posting here, other than being a corporate banner and a big waste of oxygen?

Didnt look at the site, did you?

There will be politicians at the protest speaking, as well as current Members of Parliament.

Still wanna try and put them into a minivan?
