Canadian Government Rejects Net Neutrality Rules

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian Press reports that the Canadian government appears ready to reject net neutrality legislation, instead heeding the arguments of large telecommunications companies . Michael Geist has posted transcripts of the documents which can be summarized as the government thinks that blocking or prioritizing content is acceptable, it knows that this runs counter to recommended policy, and it doesn't care because it plans to the leave the issue to the dominant telecommunications providers."

    Just like when they recently voted on whether they should all get a 30% salary raise. We didn't get to vote, oh no, that wouldn't be fair.

    I wish I was allowed to vote for my own raises. All in favor of a 5000% raise? ME! Well that's settled.
