Canadian NDP Leader Praises P2P Communities

newtley writes "The New Democrats' Jack Layton has become the first leader of a major Canadian political party to acknowledge the importance of the Internet during a federal election. He's using YouTube to carry his message specifically to the online community, launching it on P2Pnet. 'We don't want to see hidden fees and gouging and service slow-downs all in the interests of promoting the objectives of certain large corporations,' Layton says." Other party members have also spoken out against increased internet regulation. We've been following the Canadian net neutrality debate for quite some time.

I'm sorry but this is Canada, and so far no SINGLE MAN can be responsible for wrecking the country. Though that might change if Harper keeps spending. Give me a few actually reasons to believe you and I'll reconsider my opinion.

Right now we have a government doing a lot a business with a country that isn't doing well and what do we get? Nothing but a sinking dollar, the US is a sinking ship and we keep investing towards them. If the Conversative government had balls it would be making Canada more of a powerhouse instead of playing poker with their American business.

That's goo, but I'd never vote NDP

They're just to left-wing wacky on too many issues to be in power. I like them as a solid opposition though, they keep things relatively honest.

I've been voting Conservative since I started making good money.....but their copyright stance is just stupid and American. I may vote Green this time.
