MODERATORS
I wrote my MP once in 2021 regarding the reversal of the wholesale broadband rates. Specifically, about how the Vice-Chair of Telecommunications sat down with the President of Bell Media for some beers at a sports game to discuss things after the 2019 court rulings upheld the existing rules set by the Commission.
The result, of course, was a change to the rules.
You're not going to get a real answer from your MPP, just a staffer tasked with boilerplating out an email that could conceivably be construed as an answer to your question/complaint.
The staffer has two jobs. Their first job is to send a useless mollifying email. Their second job is to make a tally mark next to the words "PORN AGE GATE -- OPPOSED". (Or these days, probably they click a button on a spreadsheet.)
Writing your MP is like voting. It's useless individually, but in aggregate it will change their behaviour.
