i hear they are considering removing their dvd rental option and only going to streaming (don't have source, only heard about it), i would be pretty pissed also.

I'm facepalming right now, particularly as most of the content I download is perfectly legal and paid for dearly. You'd think they would be going in the other direction.
I'd like to point out, by the way, that Canada's centralization of the telecom industry is creepier than just having expensive internet. It's frightening how much of the entire communication and media (including internet, print, television, radio etc.) is centralized with something like 2.5 corporations. The CRTC being in bed with them doesn't surprise me.
