We know you hate Harper and the Conservatives, but it's a little tiring seeing you use any opportunity you can to talk about it.

I think you're trivializing what actually is an important issue. The Usage Based Billing is actually the small tip of a a large iceberg regarding internet access, freedoms and rights.
While all of us here are on the internet we don't realize that 30% of Canadians can't get broad band internet which is a big detriment to business and educational development in rural areas of our country. We are one of the ONLY developed countries that doesn't have a federal broadband plan to remedy these issues. The NDP is the only party that's addressed this particular issue.
Further the Cons support a lot of digital copy right and privacy evasion policies that DO effect you.
ALL the party leaders besides the Cons have joined the Vote For the Internet movement to support free rights and increased access (to different degrees) and to end this idiotic UBB bill.
I know you love Harper. I know you blindly buy his bull shit notion that he's the only one who can save the country. A monkey held him up on a mountain some where when he was born while Elton John sang the circle of life I'm sure. But isn't it a little tiring having you dismiss and be little issues that matter to some people because they don't matter to you?
