The US is almost completely unlimited plans now, and Canada's passing laws to charge you excessively by usage. Then with Canada removing the the need for search warrants any cop can come up to your door without any reason to search your house. Here I thought the US was in the lead for the next great dictatorship, but I didn't realize Canada was ahead in that race. As a world wide effort the internet needs to remain uncensored and free for everyone to use. Anyone trying to restrict it needs to get voted out of office, along with the party they represent.
