Hi all,

Its rather interesting.  This week I am in a very remote community in Nunav=
ut (Arctic Bay) enabling a project on E-Story Telling.  Staying in the same=
 hotel with me (actually the ONLY hotel in town) are two guys for the Depar=
tment of National Defence.  Both these guys had to do tours of duty in Afgh=
anistan and they were saying that even in the most remote back-woods areas =
in that country, they had better internet speeds than we do in this communi=
ty.  AND THIS IS CANADA!  When will our government see that there is just s=
omething wrong with this picture?

This is a truly amazing site -- easy and fully searchable access to debates=
 in the HofC.  Try searching for "community access program" and see all the=
 times this was brought up during and after the decision to kill the progra=
m and by whom and what was said.  It certainly didn't die without a fight.

There has been no mention of CAP for some time.  I'm wondering how we might=
 use the information available here to bring it back to the table.  Anybody=
 got some stories to report about the impact of the loss of the program tha=
t could be fed to a friendly local MP?

Other ideas?
