CRTC Update

Canadians be proud! Your voice was heard this past week, and the changes announced by committee regarding CRTC news regulations - allowing broadcasters to disseminate false information as news - has been abolished. Why? Because the people spoke up! A petition at AVAAZ.org had over 100,000 signatures, and many people submitted public comments at the CRTC website. The language of the regulation will stay the same; news broadcasters in Canada must report the truth, and will have a very hard time issuing news as barely-disguised right-wing propaganda. Today is a very good day for the truth in Canada. Good work, us!
