A Liberal Minute with Jason Lamarche.
In this episode Michael Ignatieff delivers a moving speech at the “Silent Scream” vigil to support Iran and the people who are being subjected to violence and are not able to freely express themselves.
Enjoy!
This past weekend I was invited to speak at an Open Internet Town Hall meeting hosted by SaveOurNet.ca
Some of the other guest speakers included:
*Jacob Glick – Canada Policy Counsel, Google Canada
*Rocky Gaudrault (CEO, Teksavvy Solutions Inc.)
*Libby Davies – Member of Parliament (NDP)
*Steve Anderson (Co-founder, SaveOurNet.ca)
In this episode I speak about Network Neutrality and the lack of discussions regarding the government’s accountability and commitment to a free and open Internet. With the political uprisings currently taking place in Iran and China; I think that North Americans should begin an honest conversation about what Network Neutrality really means.
My personal definition of Net Neutrality would sound something like “The free and unrestricted flow of information on the Internet with no private or public manipulation of the speed, quality, or access to any website.”
Of course I’m thrilled with Liberal MP Marc Garneau’s comment in the House of Commons last week that the Liberal Party of Canada supports Network Neutrality! This is a step in the right direction not only for Canada, but for the entire world as our ideas and relationships transcend the physical limitations of traditional one-way communication channels like radio & television.
Long live content consumers & content producers!

In this episode I take a closer look at the safe injection facility called InSite. After speaking with various stakeholders that support InSite I am even more convinced that this facility is efficient & effective and should be kept open. The government should also open similar establishments all across Canada. Special guest Omar Ha-Redeye has written a related on article on InSite and I encourage you to check it out: http://lawiscool.com/2009/05/17/1593

A Liberal Minute with Jason Lamarche.
In this episode I cut my teeth in my first media scrum by asking Michael Ignatieff why he made employment insurance (E.I.) a central plank in the Liberal platform.
Ignatieff’s response was “they contribute, but they can’t get benefits”.
I agree with him 100% on this issue. Canadians need a national standard of E.I. and we should lower the requirements temporarily as a form of stimulus to help families make ends meet during our current economic crisis.

Do you know what your Ignatieff number is?
There’s a popular game being played on the Internets right now that allows you to figure out how close you are to the current leader of the Liberal Party of Canada; Michael Ignatieff.
Based on the concept of the small world phenomenon, an Ignatieff number represents the degrees of separation someone has from Michael Ignatieff, as defined by the game.
In this episode I’ll show you how to calculate your Ignatieff number!
Enjoy!
