A governing body in Canada that is supposed to regulate the telecommunication and broadcasting sector of the country, including TV, Internet, and phone (landline and mobile).

Unfortunately, by approving everything that reinforces the stronghold three company oligopoly (Bell, Telus, Rogers), and blocking off as much outside competition (domestic and international) as possible by means of many anti competitive policies that fall under protectionism, the CRTC's effort of protecting the rights of the consumers has proved to be lacking.

The CRTC is a Canadian Government Organization that makes laws about the internet without understanding it. They also have an irrational fear of Canadians being allowed to watch the real HBO.
Hey, I thought you said your internet was fast? Ya, during the hours of 0300-0400, feel that speed! That's the CRTC for ya.

Canada's own version of a dictatorship. The CRTC dictates what every Canadian can or cannot do/watch on the internet. In recent years, I've heard they are even making efforts to filter out content that isn't "Canadian" enough. Basically, the CRTC is the oppressor and the average Canadian citizen is the oppressed.

Friend 2: No I can't because of the goddamn CRTC!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
