So a coalition of ISPs is trying to institute a website blocking regime in Canada. I know similar things were fought successfully in other countries, and I was wondering if any of you gentlemen have any ideas on how to stop it.

>ideas on how to stop it
If you're Canadian, send a submission to the CRTC. Make sure to provide your real info.
If you're not, don't do anything. You can't help.

The submission period is over, and I only found out about this today, I am very angry.

This was criminally under-reported.

You care so much about your internet access yet you aren't browsing dslreports or mobilesyrup come on man. This shit wasn't exactly a secret.

I don't actively think people are trying to take rights away.

I thought Jow Forums would throw a hissy fit if anything happened, I should probably read more tech news...

>I thought Jow Forums would throw a hissy fit if anything happened
Jow Forums in general gave up on Canada long ago.

I'm mad, piracy is the only thing I have left in this dying country.

Last time the gubberment wanted to pass murrica-tier spying laws everyone went batshit and it stopped, I hope this will be the same, though I have no heard about it until now.

>Customs banning knife imports
>ISPs instituting internet censorship

We're turning into Britain and no one cares to stop it

HOW can we stop it, I want to fight, I want to stop it.

I write my MP but it does nothing, I complain on social media but it does nothing.

Because Britain has its own media, at least.
Canada doesn't even have that, Canadians only follow American media. There's nowhere to turn.

Maybe I should put some posters up in the city.

There's a petition for the knife import thing, but for some reason only American knife collecting blogs even know it exists which obviously isn't helping the numbers any

Do c*nadians really have no original TV shows? That's pretty much all we have en Quebec.

Does this thing put my name out publicly? I'm scared of being tracked down or put on a list by the Stasi.

>Do c*nadians really have no original TV shows?
English-speaking Canada technically has its own TV shows, but they're almost universally terrible and only made to fulfill government quotas (which are almost universally hated).

The root of the problem is that most Canadians are wannabe Americans who can't move there.

I mean the only reason BC at least didn't join the states years and years ago when offered was to keep the undesirables in America out, but with recent policy changes federally there really isn't much of a reason for independence anymore.

We should probably just take the offer.

Pretty sure Degrassi is all Canadian

Of course not. Just sit still and stay where you are for the next 4-6 minutes

Pretty sure he was asking about new shows made now, not decades ago.

There is near-zero support for a merger in Canada, bizarrely enough. (Though I actually doubt the US would agree to it anyways.)

The term "inferiority complex" doesn't even begin to describe the situation, really.

It is a very strange thing. At this point I kind of want to move to the states just to be done with all this Canada bullshit.

We will need three magnatrons, power company truck, uniforms, a Jerry, and two Bruce Ws.

...and the US.

So does everyone, but it's basically impossible.
Uh, no. Jow Forums thinks the USA will be the last country left standing after Europe "falls".
