What’s sad about it is that folks like you didn’t get a chance to speak their piece - good words by the way - and the Harper government is unlikely to schedule another meeting (like the FCC was forced to when Comcast pulled the same bullshit manoeuvre at a net neutrality town hall) to make up for this charade and will cite the lack of time as the reason.

What’s pathetic about it is this dying industry has so much lobbying power to skew the government policies to ignore what citizens want (and deserve) and instead prop up a failing economic model from the past century. The smug cretins who orchestrated the domination of the town hall probably think themselves pretty clever but it really shows just how out of touch they are to think they could get away with it.
