This will Affects small businesses, families, and even large businesses (corporations) It will hurt us and them that is in Canadian business. So I think the big boys should step in and help the average people to take down this insane idea.

A large portion of data users are students, students with little to no income. Why are they squeezing every penny from us? How are they allowed to mark internet use up by over 4000x their actual cost? Corporations these days are supposed to be building up ethical activity but when they do things like this how are we supposed to believe they even know what it is to be ethical?

this is why CANADA INTERNET CAPS need to go. Look at this ROGERS internet bill for a user using 916GB in one month, $1800 !! Look at the markup ROGERS made.

at .03 cents a GB at cost to ISP 916GB = $30 give or take would cost ISP. They charged this poor sucker $1800 for downloading 916GB over the christmas holidays!!!!!!!!!!

ROGERS AND BELL = BURN IN HELL

DO NOT VOTE FOR THE PARTIES THAT SUPPORT BIG CORPORATIONS...

BOYCOTT BIG CORPS AND THEIR PRODUCT AND SERVICES...

BELL, ROGERS, SHOPPERS, LOBLAWS, PETRO CANADA, ETC... ARE THE CANADIAN COMPANIES THAT CONTROL THE PRICING IN CANADA. FOR EXAMPLE LOBLAWS INCREASES THE FOOD PRICE AND THEN SMALL BUSINESSES JUST FOLLOW. IF PEOPLE DON'T SHOP AT LOBLAWS FOOD PRICE WON'T BE SO RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. ONE LB GRAPE IN BASIC FOOD IS 88 CENT AND $2.99 IN LOBLAWS, WHY PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR BRAIN......

@archdevilneverfails You're right about this, sry but I was kind of in a hurry when I wrote this so I didn't really think about this while typing

[archdevilneverfails]

@silverbladz0 socialism stands for preventing individuals from owning public institutions and facilities.

owning a house is a basic right for every citizen.

[silverbladz0]

@archdevilneverfails What I meant is that capitalism is in fact simply a system which allows you to own what you want

[archdevilneverfails]

@silverbladz0 Every Citizen should have a house/Condo with fully functional utilities and top quality services such as High speed internet,gas,phone and electricity 24/7 from the government,no one should pay hundreds of thousands of Dollars for a shelter or otherwise sleep in the streets freezing to death.People shouldn't work for 8-16 hours per day like slaves barely feeling their lives,the standard work hours should be 6 hours per day.Emigration must stop because the country is full.

[silverbladz0]

@archdevilneverfails You ever want to have a house of your own? Then you're a capitalist...
