well I have read the bill and not understanding it totally, but I have thought it over for a week and I just don't care. Not apathetic but I can live without my 50 Gig bandwidth service from Shaw. I have other options. Most of them free.

If I can do nothing but read email, and that may be subjected to scrutiny, I can do it at an internet cafe. Kind of defeats the purpose, but I could walk a block past the Pizza place next door and order the pizza online.

I have dialup accounts for emergencies (don't use them at present but they are free and adequate with the advantage of a verified I'D user account).

Canadians are overall pretty pragmatic and willing to respond to overt actions that curtail our freedom by saying bring it on. If you cut us off we just won't pay you. And we will vote you out of office at the next opportunity just because you have upset our routine even if it saves us money in the long run.

Don't get mad get even.
