===Canada=== [[Net neutrality in Canada]] is a debated issue in that nation, but not to the degree of partisanship in other nations such as the United States in part because of its federal regulatory structure and pre-existing supportive laws that were enacted decades before the debate arose.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/us-canada-net-neutrality-party-politics-fcc-crtc-fight-1.4447558|title=Why Canada's net neutrality fight hasn't been as fierce as the one in the U.S.|last1=Braga|first1=Matthew|date=14 December 2017|access-date=15 December 2017|publisher=CBC|agency=CBC News|archive-date=14 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214192948/http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/us-canada-net-neutrality-party-politics-fcc-crtc-fight-1.4447558|url-status=live}}</ref> In Canada, ISPs generally provide Internet service in a neutral manner. Some notable incidents otherwise have included [[Bell Canada]]'s throttling of certain protocols and [[Telus Communications|Telus]]'s censorship of a specific website supporting striking union members.<ref>{{Cite news|date=24 July 2005|title=Telus cuts subscriber access to pro-union website|work=CBC News|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/telus-cuts-subscriber-access-to-pro-union-website-1.531166|access-date=12 July 2021|archive-date=29 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210429065554/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/telus-cuts-subscriber-access-to-pro-union-website-1.531166|url-status=live}}</ref> In the case with Bell Canada, the debate for net neutrality became a more popular topic when it was revealed that they were throttling traffic by limiting people's accessibility to view ''[[Canada's Next Great Prime Minister]]'', which eventually led to the Canadian Association of Internet Providers (CAIP) demanding the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)]] to take action on preventing the throttling of third-party traffic.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|last=Anderson|first=Steve|title=Dynamic Fair Dealing|publisher=University of Toronto Press|year=2014|isbn=978-1-4426-6561-3|pages=133β143}}</ref> On 22 October 2009, the CRTC issued a ruling about Internet traffic management, which favored adopting guidelines that were suggested by interest groups such as [[OpenMedia.ca]] and the Open Internet Coalition. However, the guidelines set in place require citizens to file formal complaints proving that their Internet traffic is being throttled, and as a result, some ISPs still continue to throttle the Internet traffic of their users.<ref name=":3" />
