Be concerned about your freedom on the Internet in Canada

Say no to Big Brother plan for Internet is an somewhat alarming article by University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist:

With Canada conceivably ready to adopt rules that make it far easier to remove an allegedly infringing song than to remove dangerous child pornography from a new fee-based, surveillance-ready, packet preferenced Internet, it is difficult to overstate how out of touch our Internet policy process has become.

Almost as bad is the part of the proposed system that would force "schools to pay millions of dollars for content that is currently freely available on the Internet". If you're concerned about security, privacy, or even VOIP (broadband phones), I recommend you read that article. You can read more details on it in The Truth About Copyright Revision. I guess my next step is to write my MP (MP lookup by postal code) and the ministers.
