I'm not sure why there is all this hysteria and panic?

Hi Robbie,
Back in 2005, an ISP here in Canada named Telus got into a dispute with their union, and decided that they would slow down or mess with the access to their union's sites on their network, making them the exact opposite of Neutral.
Also here, Canada's largest and fastest ISP is Bell. Bell owns all kinds of TV stations and has a service that competes with Netflix, called Crave. Net Neutrality is protected here in Canada but if it wasn't, Bell could legally slow-down access to Netflix to boost its own competing service.
