Paov,

It’s been a dramatic week! On the heels of a landmark decision from the CRTC to make TV services more affordable, The Globe and Mail revealed that Bell president Kevin Crull deliberately censored Bell-owned CTV’s news coverage of the announcement. In response, CRTC Chair Jean Pierre Blais issued a fiery public statement – revealing an agency that is increasingly unafraid to speak up for Canadians in the face of bullying by telecom giants.

Meanwhile, the battle over C-51 continues to rage, with the makers of Firefox and Mozilla, coming out against the government’s “secret police” bill, and thousands of Canadians writing directly to their MPs using a brand new tool developed by your OpenMedia team.

And Oregon Senator Ron Wyden still can’t hide from the TPP–he even canceled a fundraiser to avoid protesters who had planned a Fast Track demonstration. Now progressive Democrats and members of his own base are threatening to run a challenger against him in the hopes of ousting him in the next election, unless he says no to Fast Track legislation and the TPP.

All this and new revelations of U.S. bullying on copyright below…
