We have reports that the Big Three cell phone giants (who control roughly 94% of the market) are trying to trick the government into shutting out independent competitors. Some of them are going so far as to use high-priced lobbyists and a fake grassroots campaign [1].


In short, they will be the only game in town, and that means you and I will pay more for our cell phones. It will lock Canada behind the rest of the world on mobile communications, cripple essential innovation, limit social progress, and drain your wallet every month.

Sign the Stop The Squeeze petition before it's too late! [ http://stopthesqueeze.ca ]

Canadians already pay some of the highest cell phone fees in the free world [2]. This is a gut check for Canada. Will we let price-gouging big telecom companies squeeze every last penny out of our wallets before we stand up for ourselves? Will we let them slow-walk our economy into disaster?

We've heard that the Industry Minister is about to make a decision that could rubber stamp this cell phone nightmare into reality. Please join Canadians from across the country in signing this urgent petition to send him a message. [ http://stopthesqueeze.ca ]

Let's not put up with this anymore.

P.S. Last year Canadians spoke out against metered billing and successfully pushed the government into action. We know it's powerful when we raise our voices together. Let's do that now before it's too late: http://StopTheSqueeze.ca
