Signez la pétition!

La date limite pour soumettre des commentaires officiels au CRTC s’est écoulée, mais la campagne pour arrêter la nouvelle taxe TV des grands réseaux n’est pas finie!

Le 16 novembre, il y aura des procès au CRTC qui vont examiner la proposition des grands réseaux d’imposer une taxe TV qui ajoutera jusqu’à 10 $ par mois à la facture de chaque abonné de câble et de satellite. Les grands réseaux se servent d’efforts sans précédent pour s’assurer qu’ils obtiennent votre argent.

Jusqu’ici, des dizaines de milliers de Canadiens ont écrit des lettres au CRTC, demandant qu’ils arrêtent la taxe TV. Mais n’arrêtons pas là !

Dans le cadre de notre présentation au CRTC, les distributeurs de câble et de satellite souhaitent circuler une pétition qui dit au CRTC que les Canadiens ne veulent pas un plan de sauvetage de 450 millions $ pour les grands réseaux qui ont enregistré des profits d’exploitation de 400 millions $ l’an dernier.

Veuillez signer notre pétition pour envoyer un message clair au CRTC : Assez, c’est assez !

  • Non à la taxe télé!

    C'est assez pour nous les salariés moyens de payer pour tout !!!!!
  • this is ridiculous dont charge extra for what should be free it local tv for heaven sake!
  • Stop the Tv Tax, haven't we paid enough money already. Our economy is on the edge and Big Networks' still want to take our money away to pay for their expenses. STOP THE TV TAX!
  • Time to re think of how to entertain ourselves
  • Get rid of the T.V and read a book
  • ricky1234
    Je suis tanné des taxes . que videotron et les distributeurs par satellite paient une redevance . Assez c'est assez .
  • It is ridiculous how many extra expenses one has to pay to live here these days and another $10 a month for something like this is unacceptable ! Paychecks are starting to only cover bills. No more money for enjoying life !
    Moving to somewhere else seems like the only option if "The Man" doesn't stop doing this to the citizens.
  • CRTC Non a la taxe tv.!
  • as if we in canada need a new tax applied we have been taxed to death for more years than i care to remember !!! Its time the government gave loyal canadians a big break. been taxed. taxed and Taxed. when will you ever stop. Quit spending canadians money......
  • C'est scandaleux cette taxe.
  • MomB
    What's this about a review beginning on November 16th I have already had charges on my bill for the past two months! Where is that going?
  • Ont payent déjà assez cher comme ça que les distributeurs payent a qui de droit les sommes qu ils leur sont dues c est inclus dans le prix qu ont payent nous n avons pas a repayées encore 1 fois suffit
  • on a peya assez de taxe ..........sa va faire ...NON A LA TX TV!
  • Assez c'est assez?
  • CanadianLonger
    Regardless of the reason for increasing my bill it will force me to rationalize my viewing needs. In all likelihood I will simply slash my services to the minimum or look to some grey market options... Go ahead and raise taxes becuase both sides will effectively be losing!
  • I feel that We the consumers "pay" enough, and that to make us pay more is wrong especially when everyone is "hard up" for cash. I believe that if the Networks would spend their - Our money more wisely, then they would'nt be in this mess. This is just another cash grab, and I believe no amount of money will fix the mess they are saying they are in.
  • As a consumer, I feel that the CRTC should be thinking about us and not thinking about the Cable and Satellite companies. There is alot of pirating in this business, and a rate hike will just encourage hackers to keep on doing their thing so that these companies make less money.

    The economy is in a recession, if the CRTC authorizes a rate hike, the consumers will pay and this will result in numerous cancellations for these companies. If any monetary gain was to be had, it would be lost due to the loss of clients.

    I am sick and tired of Big Networks constantly complaining about needing more money. In my television universe (Satellite), I currently receive 681 channels. Of those channels 30 are CBC, 23 CTV, 13 GLOBAL and 8 CITY -- for a total of 74 that I must take because of decisions made by the CRTC! Each and every one of these broadcast the same shows at the same time -- I can only watch one at a time, therefore the rest do not get viewed (EVER). If Big Networks want to charge me to watch my local channel, then let me choose which ones of the these 74 that I want and I'll gladly pay for them, but to be forced to pay for all 74 is stupid.

    Give Canadians the choice of which channels are worthy of surviving (based on sign-ups) and the whole matter will resolve itself in a short time.

    We live in a democracy where choice is the linchpin of our society....just apparently not when it comes to our television viewing choices.

    Big Networks are Monopolists not Capitalists.
  • stop the bailouts its not worth it why should my money be used for companies making millions give the money to u we will make the country grow
  • pauloconnor
    I think that the answer was mentioned in the Toronto Star. Consumers should have total choice over what channels that they want to watch...as in NO PACKAGES WHATSOEVER. If they want to watch local channels, then they can pay for them. If not, then they can pay for the speciality channels. If some viewers such as my family only watch the news and a sports channel, then we should be paying for ONLY 2 channels NOT 20 or more in a package.

    If there is a new tax on tv, we will cancel cable completely and use an aerial.
  • Paye ici paye là. ASSEZ c'est ASSEZ. Les distributeurs font assez de profits s'en nous faire payer encore et en plus ne pas avoir rien de mieux à la TV. NON À LA TAXE TV. Diane Girard.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Pay here pay there. The distributors make enough profits with making us pay more and not getting anything better on TV. NO TO THE TV TAX. Diane Girad

    We pay enough now for TV. I live in Northwestern Ontario and there has been many jobs lost here and more to come(Forestry). People are having a hard time now and we do not need to pay more for TV, Hydro is outrages, gas..enough is enough!!

  • assez de payer comme des cave

  • mitzy1
    Please stop the tv tax - the big networks are already making enough profit - this is way too much to ask. Cable and satellite tv are already way too expensive. Enough is enough!
  • Aller signer la PÉTITION pour dire NON à la taxes... ben oui une autre taxes
  • Payer et repayer c'est pire que de payer pour des matières payées et recyclées...
    Si ça continue de même, dans un futur proche on va payer pour l'air qu'on respire bordel ! Assez c'est assez !
  • dave44
    This is insane, I guess it pays to have friends in high places, they give you money even if you dont need it
  • sa coute en moyennes 66 $ par mois pour payer le satellite cable ou autre je crois cest suffisant
    rajouter des taxes cest insiter les gens a frauder et a pirater !!! EST CE QUE SES VRAIMENT NÉCESSAIRE !!!!!!
  • omaramin
    I get too much of my hard earned cash taken away from me legitimately, every paychech, to sit back and watch more of it be stolen to make already ridiculously rich networks even richer that they ought to be. Shame on them for trying to get away with highway robbery, and shame on you, CRTC if you allow them to succeed.
  • Je signe cette pétition avec plaisir

  • douguelph
    TV is complaining because their ad money is less because less customers are advertising so they need more money. What other way to make money is to go after the cabel and satellite subscribers. l disagree with this.
