The high cost of internet access in Canada is leaving low-income families behind, says a national organization that is calling on the federal government to act. ACORN Canada, a charitable organization that advocates for low- to moderate-income families, released a report on Tuesday that says "digital equity" must become a federal priority. In the report, Barriers to Digital Equity in Canada, ACORN Canada says Canadians need online access to apply for jobs, complete school work, download government forms, pay bills and connect with family and friends, and it argues that internet access has become a basic human right. The high cost of internet in Canada is a well-documented problem that disproportionately impacts low- and moderate-income households, the report says.
