OTTAWA -- The crowd of about 300 at today's rally on Parliament Hill in support of "net neutrality" was well behaved, but placards clearly indicated their feelings on the issue.
Some of the more notable signs being waved by the crowd:
- Stop deep packet rape
- Save the internet
- Say no to big brother watching you
- Keep your hands outta my packets
- Citizens of canada or subjects of bell canada?
(CBCnews.ca's Peter Nowak is in Ottawa for Tuesday's net neutrality rally. At issue are the actions of big ISPs that have been slowing down the internet speeds of customers using certain applications, such as peer-to-peer software used for file sharing.)
