Sick day, off day, skip... Don't matter. If you want to make a difference, do it! You have roughly a week!

I'm all for it. As long as we still have the right to hold a peaceful demonstration in this country:

I wonder what ever became of the police involved in this debacle... hmm?

said by R0CKY :

There are significant people in Parliament that day, so if we can make a very large impact from a population standpoint our message will be heard!

said by backness :

I'd definitly issue a press release before the event and hope it gets picked up by the media

said by Guspaz :

Should still be sent from the organizers. Rocky, in this case.

On the other hand, is it really OK for Rocky to be organizing a protest when he's involved with the CAIP filing?

Hmm... That's the day before school starts, so I'm technically free...

I wonder what the cheapest way to get to Ottawa from Montreal is. Having missed today's gaming meeting, this protest might be the only way I can meet the DSLR/TSI gang :P

EDIT: Somehow I doubt the RCMP has better things to do than harass a bunch of nerds protesting internet things :P

said by alphaz18 :

guspaz. theres a few options cheapest would be drive.
next option is take the bus
go to canadacoach or greyhound. they have round trips. not too expensive.
train is by far most expensive.
you cannot take plane from montreal to ottawa. theres no flights . because mtl is too close to ottawa

I'm approaching you all to see about making this Rally as visible as possible. I'm work on putting together as big a rally as possible for net neutrality. The Telco/Cableco monopolies in Canada have all recently accelerated their efforts in the resent weeks, since Bell's Throttling started. Net Neutrality deals in various forms, but of major concern are privacy, choice and ISP transparency. The impending CRTC ruling may very well pave the road for either continued Canadian technical advancement/progress, or set the scene for a Corporate Canadian Internet. If we don't stand up and get both a better public and a stronger political understanding I fear our internet freedoms might be up for grabs by the highest bidder, or worse simply taken away!

Where: Parliament Hill in Ottawa
When: April 29th
Time: 1PM to 6PM

You guys want to make a case for Net Neutrality, then lets stop talking and start doing! I'M IN!

Rocky

said by GKC :

Rocky...and what's to be your theme title for this protest?

said by Abattoir :

If it's a go, I'll be there. We should try to mobilize the Facebook crowd - there are nearly 2000 people in the "Stop The Throttler (Bell)!!!" group.

I'll start a discussion thread there to see if we can generate much interest.

said by jvaux :

That way once this picks up momentum everyone will be on the same page, instead of it becoming a "Don't throttle my torrents!" protest -- which the media will certainly be quick to exploit.

some ideas:

said by DjEclipse :

Also for promotion make a video on youtube about the protest, it is a great way to spread the word, epecially since it's interent related.
