Here’s an immediate action opportunity, and no you don’t have to be a Calgary resident to take part:
Cory Doctorow points to an event being organized on Facebook to meet with Industry Minister Jim Prentice at his open house in Calgary on Saturday. If you are in Calgary, the open house runs from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on Saturday, December 8th at 1318 Centre Street NE, Suite 105. If you can’t attend, Cory has a great idea:
Not in Calgary? NO PROBLEM! Plan on calling the Minister tomorrow or on dropping him an email, expressing your regrets that you can’t attend the open house, but letting him know how you feel. Here are the numbers:
Ottawa office - (613) 992-4275
Calgary office - (403) 216-7777
Minister office - (613) 995-9001His email address is: Prentice.J@parl.gc.ca. Once you send an email, print it out and mail it (no stamp needed!) to:
Jim Prentice
House of Commons
Parliament Buildings
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0A6
After you send Jim a note, there’s also these sources from Geist’s blog:

and what would a social activism push be without a corresponding Facebook group?
Facebookers can look for the Fair Copyright for Canada group.
