> On October 21, 2009, open Internet supporters breathed a sigh of relief. Big phone and cable companies had been caught red-handed restricting access to online services, and the government had let it happen. This anti-competitive practice threatened online choice, innovation, and free expression in Canada.
> 
> The pro-Internet community responded (as they did recently to the Stop Online Spying campaign) with a massive public awareness campaign. Ottawa heeded our call, and we now have some of the strongest Internet openness rules in the world.
> 
> We’re toasting this victory at the Media Democracy Day fundraising concert this Thursday, October 20, at the Railway Club. Come celebrate the open Internet and enjoy some live local music.
> 
> Entry is FREE for OpenMedia.ca monthly donors. If you haven't joined yet you can do so here: http://openmedia.ca/allies
