I’ve been watching this online petition today, which is growing at quite an impressive rate. The goal is 100000 signatures, and it’s already a third of the way there. By my calculations today, it is growing by over 1000 people per hour so far today alone. Give it a look and consider signing and/or spreading it around. Apathy is the enemy:

Canada: Stop "Fox News North"

Prime Minister Harper is trying to push American-style hate media onto our airwaves, and make us all pay for it. His plan is to create a "Fox News North" to mimic the kind of hate-filled propaganda with which Fox News has poisoned U.S. politics. The channel will be run by Harper’s former top aide and will be funded with money from our cable TV fees!

One man stands in the way of this nightmare — the Chairman of Canada’s Radio and Telecommunications Commission Konrad von Finckenstein. And now, Harper is trying to get him out of his job. Sign the petition below to send a wave of support to von Finckenstein and forward this campaign to everyone — we’ll publish full page ads in Canadian papers when we reach 100,000: 

To CRTC Chair von Finckenstein and PM Harper:

As concerned Canadians who deeply oppose American-style hate media on our airwaves, we applaud the CRTC’s refusal to allow a new "Fox News North" channel to be funded from our cable fees. We urge Mr. von Finckenstein to stay in his job and continue to stand up for Canada’s democratic traditions, and call on Prime Minister Harper to immediately stop all pressure on the CRTC on this matter.

  2. Anyone signing this petition should be deeply ashamed of themselves. When dcomment_ID it become “Canadian” to deem anyone you disagree with as a “Hater”?

    Just because you vote Liberal or NDP or Green and your next door neighbour votes Conservative doesn’t mean that s/he is the Devil Incarnate and needs to be shut up at all cost. Such a mindset is truly totalitarian and very un-Canadian!
