> The Tyee published an important piece about the 'Net Neutrality'
> issue in Canada a few days ago. It's creating a bit of a stir -
> but the stir could be a lot bigger.
>
> 'Net Neutrality' (the freedom of all users to have equal access to
> the internet) has become a huge and successful campaign in the
> States, but in Canada hardly anyone knows about it, or knows that
> what we all take for granted now is threatened.

> Here are three ways to get this story around:
>
> 1) Just forward on this email, and tell people to read the Tyee
> story Canada Sleeps Through The War To Save The Internet: http://
> thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2007/01/17/NetNeutrality/
>
> 2) Blog it, link it on your website, put a link to it in your
> organizations' newsletter etc.
>
> 3) Make it the top story on Care2.com Our friend Justin in
> Washington DC has posted the story on the site he works for -
> www.Care2.com (a really interesting online news network and social
> issues forum with over 6 million members), and he really wants to
> make sure that his members (particularly the Canadian ones) see
> this article.
>
> By 'noting' it, you can help make this the top story on Care2, and
> drive a bunch of new traffic to The Tyee.
>
> You have to be a member to 'note.' If you're note a member of
> Care2, it's easy to sign up here: http://passport.care2.net/

> And then, here's all you have to do:
>
> 1) Click this link - http://www.care2.com/news/member/
> 620835120/279509 - and then click on the yellow 'Note' icon (like a
> sticky note) to the left of the story link. This will take the
> rank of the story up one notch, and give it a better chance of
> appearing on Care2's homepage, thus getting tons of readers (this
> is a reader-drive news site)
>
> 2) Now take your time and read the article: Canada Sleeps Through
> The War To Save The Internet: http://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/
> 2007/01/17/NetNeutrality/
>
> Thanks! It's time to get this issue front and centre in Canada,
