Well there you have it, Canadian citizens have shown an ardor that I didn't think existed. I've already stated my views on the dispute and won't belabor further about them. What has me both intrigued and disgusted at the same time is that something so petty is what has gotten Canadians to finally unite and speak up.
We won't speak out against ever increasing Income, property or sales taxes but be warned the corporate giant should they charge more for the Internet! We Canadians can now be known for our beer and our defence of the Internet against the corporate giant. Boy that makes me proud... I mean sure it's fun to talk about that water Americans consider beer, but really is this what we really want to define us as a nation?
Or how about a nation that rebelled against traditional media delivery... that's right... I cancelled my TV service to save money and I am NOT going to pay more to the company that now provides me the same service. No way, no how,,, I want my Internet to be free, and I want my TV to be free and of course I only download public domain movies because 50 year old movies is where it's at.
I don't care that taxes are through the roof, and I don't care that our health care system is ailing (it's good but it's not the best). I don't mind paying exorbitant prices on gas, and I kind of like the constant fluctuation because when it now drops to $1.10 I feel like I am getting a deal! and when it goes up on weekends it gives me something else to bitch about other then the weather.
So there you have it my fellow Canadians! You have saved the Internet and we can now go back to being the blind, obedient sheep our Government is so used to dealing with.
I can't wait to see what will get our panties in a bunch next time... Tim Horton's doesn't bake their doughnuts fresh anymore, guess we missed that event (or the Internet hadn't matured enough, to give use FB, Twits and blogggs). Lucky for Tim Hortons eh!
Any thought?
