Usage Based Billing (Canada)

Unfortunately, the CRTC has decided that large telecommunication companies in Canada should (and now are) charging for usage based billing, something that may hurt many Canadians and deem services like Netflix useless in Canada. Prior to this, unlimited data plans were available in Canada. So what can you do to change this? OpenMedia.ca has started a petition which is backed by the Liberal Party of Canada, all they (and we) ask is for you to sign this petition. As of writing, just over 493,000 people have signed the petition, we ask you make it 493,001 people. Below we have placed a counter and a form to sign the petition. We urge you, sign the petition!
