You need JavaScript enabled to view it > PETITION TO CRTC about media concentration in Canada hey to all you people opposed to media concentration: please go to this website and click on the petition to the CRTC for regulation of media ownership! this is a time sensitive issue: the CRTC have hearings coming up soon and they need to see that the public has an opinion on this issue because they have been allowing big companies to buy each other out, ignoring popular opinion. As you may have seen in headlines in the past couple of weeks, there have been a number of mega mergers in the past few weeks and we've got to reverse that trend now - please take two minutes to go to the automatic form that sends your letter to the CRTC - this website automatically sends it for you and it's very quick and easy. * From: Kate < This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
