I'm from Englehart just south of Kirkland Lake and the Adams Mine. My father worked there and lost his job there. That changed my families life forever.

I look back now an cannot believe a community that small did what they did to prevent Toronto's garbage from happening. I cannot thank you enough. It changed the communities life FOREVER!!!

Put every single Warner Brother as a cop on world wide broadband lines,

Our youth hackers will encrypt and dodge your unjust ACTA copy fines,

When we hit you with elections we'll burn the Copyright Treaty that you wrote,

To protect the sharing internet and our future that it holds.

[Packetshap3r]

You bill us like a bitfarm we want cyberspace to play.

You use us like a digital profit mill and ignore the things we say,

Big money had all the power till Open Media UBB protest overload,

We fought for unlimited internet and the innovation that it holds

[Packetshap3r]

Corporate Lobby of America where the ACTA deal was tried,

To the mighty Fraser river where the Shaw family fiber lies,

A million miles of fiber optic cable, along road and railway track,

We'll encrypt it every inch of the way and make sure it can't be cracked.

[Packetshap3r]

We gave you a monopoly to share world wide culture gold,

You throttled all our torrents for the copyright that they hold.

We gave you all our phone lines and the broadband as it grew,

But we will never monetize the internet no matter what

[CanadaJams]

Thanks Charlie. We'll help.
