Election issue …NEW Internet ruling.

Dear Mr. Prime minister
Very few things effect people as much as access to information and education.
One of the best tools for education in our country is the internet and I am aghast to hear that your government has approved restrictions on the internet by placing a meter on peoples internet.
People are able to get access to government programs, health issues, education of all sorts through the web and that will soon be eroded.
This has to be one of the most insane, retrograde moves by our government in a long time.
Communities around the world are trying to make information more freely available and Canada is doing exactly the opposite.
The people of Canada will make this an election issue.
Thank you
Deryk Houston
