A Social Media Revolution Closer to Home? Or, The North, Strong and Free
The world may be paying attention to Egypt’s unfolding revolution, but the Middle East isn’t the only place playing host to online-enabled political activism. This piece comes from Kayle Hatt, an up-and-coming Canadian political organizer last seen on these pages writing about Six Questions a Candidate Should Ask before Tweeting, Blogging or Posting a Status Update, an article that was very well received six months ago and that still draws readers regularly.
A Social Media Revolution Closer to Home? Or, The North, Strong and Free
By Kayle Hatt
There is an e-revolution happening right now, citizens using the internet to demand a change in government policy, but I’m not talking about Egypt…this is happening in Canada.
It’s been called Canada’s “biggest citizens’ movement in generations” and it’s a fight of the future of the internet (something of particular interest to readers of this blog). It’s a battle against the major telecom companies and the government over access and the affordability of the internet.
