Grassroots Growing Over Bill C-61
In keeping up with the fight against Bill C-61, c61in61seconds.ca has launched. It’s a YouTube channel that’s giving users a central hub to post their opinions on the new Bill C-61 amendments that are going through the system here in Canada. Many people see these changes as little more than a Canadian version of the DMCA. An ever increasing number of Canadians are speaking out, however, and the with the summer delay of the Bill, the grassroots are getting some time to grow.
The above video tells you how you can respond and add your voice to the YouTube channel.
If posting a youtube video isn’t your thing, there are a number of other options available to you.
faircopyrightforcanada.ca, run by Michael Geist, maintains a list of groups including local chapters. If you’re on Facebook, you can go directly to the Facebook Group here – this is the ‘hub’. You’ll also find local chapters from all over Canada posted in the group info.
Not into the Facebook scene? You can contact your MP directly, and let them know your position on the Bill C-61? Use this handy locator to get all the contact information you need. I’ve always been a fan of this type of direct contact, especially if you send it by snail mail.
And locally, there’s a town hall meeting here in Toronto – July 24th at 7pm, @ the Edward Day Gallery.
