Canada defeats "Fox News North"!
Wow, we did it!

"Fox News North" just announced that they are abandoning their push for the government to give them forced access to our cable fees!

This is an amazing victory for the 83,000 of us who signed the petition, the 25,000 who sent personal submissions to the CRTC and the 4,000 who donated over $115,000 to fuel this campaign - huge congrats to everyone."

2. Excellent news!

If Canadians want to listen to rabid right wing propaganda, they are free to pay for it out of their own pocket, pay to view, just like the US propaganda Faux News Network is an pay to view network in Canada.

Thanks for the great news, polly7, it is much appreciated.

5. AVAAZ is great at bringing these things to attention ...

I get anything new in my email https://secure.avaaz.org/en/highlights/

Lots of worthwhile causes to support, even if it's only signing a petition and posting it on facebook or forwarding it on.
