Hello  

One way I know is to use Facebook groups and Fan pages, and to get bloggers to pick up the story.

I've created a Facebook group, a Facebook Fan page, and emailed Michael Geist, a prominent blogger about Canadian technology issues.

If people on the list who are Facebook members could join the group and become a fan we could spread awareness of this issue very quickly.

To join the group, go here:

To become a fan, go here, login to Facebook, and click "Become a fan":
http://www.facebook.com/pages/ibelieveinopenca/27284937139

Jennifer, please friend me on Facebook and I'll add you as admin to the group and Fan Page.

I've only recently joined the list, but I'm enjoying the energy and enthusiasm around these issues.

Best regards,
Weston
