Usage Based Billing

Wow, who knew the Inter­net had any power with the gov­ern­ment? The Lib­er­als have it as part of their plat­form to over­turn the deci­sion by the CRTC for their next elec­tion. Fol­low­ing that, the Con­ser­v­a­tive Gov­ern­ment promised to look into it and make a deci­sion by March 1st. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talk­ing about, check out this website:

I believe there are protests com­ing soon, so keep an eye out for those and join in!

Peter’s off to Australia!

My cousin Peter left for Aus­tralia yes­ter­day, and he just landed there today. He was inspired by my trip to Europe (search my blog for posts about it!), and he decided to go off on his own adven­ture. I’m really excited for him and I’d love to be able to do what he’s doing right now! Although he won’t be going for school, he is going to work in Aus­tralia via the SWAP pro­gram (swap.ca). They get you setup with a visa, a place to stay for two weeks, some peo­ple to meet up with, and a few other things to get you on the right foot. He also went with another friend of mine, Safari, they should have a great time. I’m really excited for him, and I can not wait to hear all of his ridicu­lous stories!

Say­ing our good­byes to Peter and Safari at the airport

Incase you’re inter­ested, here is the first post of his new travel blog:
