Re: 2008 will define the Internet for years to come!
Yeah... You're right, I'm not from the US but this one will definitely need to be hashed out, patriot act or not. ISPs aren't agents of the state and should never be.

| O I agree, I just have no faith in the government or this administration working them out. I don't even know if the next guy or girl will. Frankly, this government has us right where they want us. It's called scared, panicked and thinking the world is out to get us. Therefore, they can pass any law, and take away our freedom, all under the guise of security. I am sure these ISPS recognize this climate and can get away with their actions. |

| Yeah... I'm seeing that looking at your situation from the outside. Hopefully the new person coming in will see the value in putting a little weight in this issue. (fingers crossed for you)
The Canadian side seems to often feed to some extent on the US (sometime the other way around, but rare), so I for one and hoping the FCC or the government does the right thing on this one... It has to.
Being passive on this topic pretty much spells the beginning of the end for the internet as we know it...

| Well the sad part is you guys are headed down the same road. You elected a conservative (think it was) leader after having a liberal party leader in place for a long time. Excuse me if I got this reversed but I think I'm correct. All I know for certain is your new leader is more closely aligned with Bush and his dumb ideologies. That definitely isn't good news for Canada either. |

| Guess the world is full of morons these days. Instead of electing leaders who will best serve them, we get ones who run things to the ground. Canada has always been seen as a liberal country when the U.S. has shifted. I really hope you don't go down that same slippery slope, though I fear you already have. Ugh. Does Canada have the same equivalent of the Patriot Act or similar? Im not sure, as I can't say I follow Canada as closely. Btw, Ontario is a great province. Been to multiple parts, but never outside. Been via Detroit (Ambassador Bridge) and to Niagara Falls. Quite amazing. |

Chatham, ON | We don't have the Patriot Act (at least not yet), so for now we're sort of safe, but who knows right now...
