Paov, the story below is a perfect example of the work we do here at OpenMedia.
Earlier this year, we found ourselves in a make-or-break hearing fighting for Internet choice rules to ensure community members in Canada have access to independent services and lower prices for super-fast fibre Internet.
Our opponents across the room were dozens of very well-paid lawyers from Big Telecom.
By any conventional measure, the odds were against us. Yet we beat Big Telecom’s expensive hired guns and won our...
The Prime Minister is breaking his first climate promise

Friends,
Last weekend, Canada signed onto a global climate agreement that ushered in a new chapter for this global movement. We are at a potential turning point away from fossil fuels -- but only if Canada keeps its promises, increases ambition, and comes up with a plan to keep fossil fuels, starting with the tar sands, in the ground.
Unfortunately, right now Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on track to break his first big climate promise. The Prime Minister intends to allow National Energy Board reviews of the Energy East and Kinder Morgan Trans-Mountain pipelines to continue, despite the fact that these review processes are broken.
The Prime Minister promised to overhaul these National Energy Board reviews to consider climate change and respect communities. Since he's not following through, we're announcing a new plan today:

New Year's resolution
View in browser
Hey PAOV,What are your New Year’s resolutions for next year? What if, in addition to hitting the gym on a regular basis and ditching those midnight snack sessions, you had the power to affect the lives of countless individuals living in extreme poverty?
As 2015 comes to an end, we’re taking a look back on some of our greatest achievements and challenges in the fight against extreme poverty. In September alone, we witnessed something extraordinary – 139 world leaders committing to 17 Global Goals to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and fix climate change.
Now is the time to begin thinking about what we, as global citizens, need to accomplish in 2016 to carry out these goals.
More free, equal, and just.
