  • Campaign for Net neutrality

    If you spend much time at all on the net, and especially if you have limited money, you are interested in this. They are trying to turn the open internet into a "pay for use" system.

    There has to be a better way to control bandwidth hogs without jeopardizing people who use the net as entertainment or work. Maybe a cap large enough to discourage abuse, but not use.

    For full information and to do the "online petition" click here.

    • This is Not Democracy ­ Silence is Not an Option! Sign the Declaration of Voters' Rights

    Are you fed up with voting in federal elections where seven million of us cast ballots that elect no one? Are you tired of Parliaments that don't represent the people of Canada? Are you angry that a party can win a majority of seats even when 60% of us vote against them?

    You're not alone.

    Several weeks ago, Fair Vote Canada held a press conference at Parliament to launch the Declaration of Voters' Rights (see the article, photos and video on our website).

    This document is not a petition. It's not a request. It's a people's declaration. Canadian voters have a fundamental right to equal votes, fair election results and legitimate majority rule.

    Between now and the next election, we intend to circulate the Declaration as widely as possible.  

    How many signers can we get? How loud will our voices be? That depends on you and other citizens.

    If you sign today, and pass it along to just five friends, we can jumpstart this campaign and build real momentum.

    At our press conference, the first three signers were Nathalie Des Rosiers, General Counsel, Canadian Civil Liberties Association; Ed Broadbent, former NDP leader; and Dr. John Trent, former secretary-general of the International Political Science Association.

    Many others have since joined them. And now we need you.

    Please sign the Declaration of Voters' Rights today and forward it to your friends.

    Yours for a democratic Canada,

    Bronwen Bruch President Fair Vote Canada
