Read Bill C-11, Grind Teeth, Make Noise!

Still not convinced this will be that bad? There’s been some debate on Reddit, many people claiming this is merely “SOPA Lite“. While there are some clear differences, Canada’s internet would see a drastic change if Bill C-11 passes.

If you’re on the fence, and you just so happen to have a blackbelt in reading legal jargon, go and Read Bill C-11 for yourself. If you’re short on time, or prefer funny images with your critical thinking, here is a great Summary of Bill C-11 and what it’s all about.

Once your done there, be sure to write your Local MP, share your knowledge with friends, and Tweet Harper.  Let him know the internet is watching (@PMharper).

  1. The entities that have provoked this bill will be the same entities that will be overrun in the marketplace due to the political and economic backlash that will be the end result. I propose that we hold a National Boycott of all forms of purchased entertainment for a period of 4 months. A quarterly loss of this magnitude would surely wake up the shareholders of the entertainment conglomerates. And in itself the various political parties involved would definitively observe that any decisions made on this issue would have to benefit everyone and not just a select few.

    • Well Ronald I’m with you all the way. I think we should boycott until the entertainment industry is completely crippled. I’m tired of being squeezed. I’m tired of working like an animal everyday and getting a kick in the teeth as a reward by people like Harper. We Canadians need to wake up out of ignorance and supporting the people or industries that do nothing but take advantage of us.

  2. I agree with Ronald, when’s the boycott start lets get this in the news so that everyone knows or start a facebook page that always seems to get people moving. I for one have no problem boycotting entertainment industry until they stand up.

  3. We can keep fighting it. The alternative is continuing to be passive and apathetic and let them do everything in their power to squeeze every cent out of us they can. Seems like a good reason to fight to me.

Help Stop Bill C11 – Canada’s Very Own SOPA

The Conservative Party is trying to push Bill C-11 through parliament quickly and quietly, unlike SOPA in the United States, we won’t have the benefit of major websites like Google and Wikipedia going dark to raise awareness of it. This is something they have been trying to pass for years but haven’t been able to with only a minority government (that should tell you something about the bill right there), after winning a majority government in the last election the Conservative Party now has nothing standing in their way. A great summary of Bill C-11 and why it matters can be found at: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6257/125/

How can you protest against Bill C-11?

We strongly believe that Reddit, Twitter and Facebook played an incredible role in raising the awareness needed that ultimately led to the defeat of SOPA in the United Sates. As a Canadian citizen who cares deeply about the Internet and our rights online, I ask you to please help us in doing the same for Bill C-11. If you’re a Canadian, write your local MP [Do you Need a C-11 Email Template?], if you’re unable to write, spread the word through social media! #StopBillC11

  1. Dear fellow Canadian internet nerds, the conservatives need to be stopped! Bill C-11 will ruin what the internet is all about. Power to the people. Safety in numbers. Hiyah!

  2. I suggest an ‘occupy parliament’ movement, to protest the bill. Sit on the front steps all day, till they stop this nonsense.

  3. *signed*

    Will this just push back the inevitable ? This is the 4th time, there will be a 5th… what can we do to stop this from being brought up again?

  4. Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR INTERNET FREEDOM!

    Signed petition, mailed MP, joined the fb group!
