Never thought I'd be thanking the NDP.
Quote:
The NDP has followed through with its promise to introduce legislation to the House of Commons that seeks to keep the internet open and free from control by service providers.
"This bill is about fairness to consumers," said Charlie Angus, the NDP's digital spokesman, in the House of Commons on Wednesday. "The internet is a critical piece of infrastructure not just for Canada but for the world ... this bill protects the innovation agenda of Canada."

I personally have Bell as my internet provider, and if I'm doing any sort of file sharing it renders my Internet connection almost useless, so I'm really hoping this passes. If not, its time to look for a new ISP.
