Condensed version: Telecom companies in Canada want to charge you for every byte of information that you download. This can mean that downloading a youtube video could cost you a pretty penny. One of the ramifications of this type of legislation getting passed is that the technology sector in Canada will get thrown into the dark ages and put us years behind other countries and essentially turning us into a 3rd world country in terms of technological innovation. Read the article for more information and sign the petition.
