   Does anyone live in, or know people in the riding of Halton, Ontario?

   I'm interested in trying to get Garth Turner interested in our 
copyright/etc related issues.  He has recently posted an article about Net 
Neutrality, so might like to hear from constituents.

   Is it possible to organize a specific signature-gathering campaign in 
the riding so that we can get a bundle (Minimum 30 signatures for each 
petition, to ensure that when they get looked over that at least 25 will 
be considered valid) to Mr. Turner to table in the house?  I think as an 
independent he might be ideal for trying to inject some sanity into the 
upcoming copyright debate, and now is the critical time to reach him.


   While I'm not in the riding I have still added comments, as his blog is 
very well read across Canada.

   I'm also wondering if there are people in the two ridings with current 
by-elections.  Are any of the candidates talking about technology law, new 
media, etc issues?
