From Steve Anderson of the Campaign for Democratic Media...
---
Stephen Harper thinks "ordinary" Canadians don't give a hoot about their culture. We think he's wrong. We believe culture and communication policies are hugely important to Canadians who see them as key issues in this federal election.
Campaign for Democratic Media is asking, on your behalf, where the political parties stand on issues such as protecting the open Internet, media concentration, foreign ownership limits, CBC funding and support for the arts.
CDM will send you a copy of Communication and Culture: Where Do the Parties Stand? along with a list of questions that you can put to the candidates in your own electoral riding.
Also, Campaign for Democratic Media will soon be releasing a report, Net Neutrality: Fact vs Fiction, and encouraging Netizens to use it in their discussions with local candidates.
Getting politicians on record and making communication and culture an issue in this election takes money. Media and communications conglomerates have big bucks to spend influencing federal policies. We, thankfully, have YOU.

In previous CDM campaigns, we have put your concerns before the CRTC, which helped prevent further loosening of media concentration rules. And with your assistance, we have helped propel Net Neutrality from an obscure issue into a national effort to ensure the Internet remains open to all Canadians.
We need to capitalize on this federal election to put clear choices about culture and communications policies in front of "ordinary" Canadians. Won't you help?

Net Neutrality and the Election
To members of Stop The Throttler (Bell)!!!
Also from Steve Anderson...
Dear fellow Canadian,
Despite Harper’s major cuts to new (and innovative) media, communication issues have barely made it on the radar screen during this election. To make matters worse, this silence is taking place while the open Internet remains in limbo.
We’re asking, on your behalf, where the political parties stand on communication issues including Net Neutrality.
We will also soon be releasing a report, Net Neutrality: Fact vs Fiction, and encouraging Netizens to use it in their discussions with local candidates.
Getting politicians on record and making Net Neutrality an issue in this election takes work. Telecom conglomerates have big bucks to spend influencing federal policies. We, thankfully, have YOU.
