Today we’re launching our crowdsourced election platform to... repeal Bill C-51 and secure affordable, world-class Internet for all Canadians.
Now we need your help to show party leaders that we have the weight of Canada behind us. Will you join us and pledge your vote to ensure party leaders can’t ignore our pro-Internet plan?

Paov, people like you and me are having our lives and livelihoods affected by Canada’s lacklustre digital policy.5 But we can change this.
Today, OpenMedia is announcing a pro-Internet election platform that’s unique — unique because it’s written by you.
If enough people join our Pledge Drive we'll have the leverage we need to put our crowdsourced plan into law. Check out our detailed plan here, and pledge your vote today to make sure it can’t be ignored.
Crowdsourcing and participation have always been at the heart of what OpenMedia does. We know the best ideas come not from inside the Ottawa bubble, but from everyday Canadians.
That’s why we got involved with this election - it’s a huge opportunity to reimagine our democracy so that citizens are in the driver’s seat instead of lobbyists and powerful interests.
This is our Internet, Paov. Will you join our Pledge Drive now to make sure party leaders put Canada’s Digital Future front and centre?
Remember, if we get enough people to pledge their vote, we can make our pro-Internet vision a reality - but we need to act now before the parties finalize their plans. Will you join us by adding your voice now?
Thanks for standing with us,
David,
on behalf of your OpenMedia team
P.S. There are a lot of issues competing for attention this election — and our concerns will only stay on the agenda if we keep them there. We’ll soon be meeting with key party leaders and we need to show we have the weight of Canada behind us. Will you join us by signing our pro-Internet vote pledge today?
