They are suggesting you write a letter like the one below to your local TV or internet provider. Here is the text of their call to action:
Dear Ukrainian Canadians and Friends,
At this time of crisis for Ukraine, we need your help. Please support our efforts to “Stop fuelling the fire” and block Russian propaganda on Canadian TV.
We need everyone to write to the TV networks and Internet portal executives to remove Russian Propaganda sites from our airwaves. Since we do not have the millions that Putin does to fuel his propaganda machines, we need to use the strength of our community to take action and make this happen. Attached to this message is:
1. the STENCIL Letter which you can use as the basis for your own letter or send "as is" and,
2. the list of contacts - the 17 executives - to email your letter to.
PLEASE SACRIFICE 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND DO THIS ASAP !!
Don't forget to put the executive's name on the letter, as well as your name, city and province at the bottom!
ALSO – PLEASE SHARE THIS REQUEST WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES !!
Thank you,
EUM Media Team

Sample letter
April 2014
Dear [INSERT NAME, COMPANY],
Please STOP FUELLING THE FIRE!
As a customer of your services, I am very concerned with the slanderous information, propaganda and war mongering that appears on your networks through the irresponsible journalism of the following TV channels: RT (Russia Today), Perviy Kanal (First Channel), RTR and NTV TV, as well as through videos and sites on the Internet.
Specifically, RT News has broadcasted examples of hate, propaganda of war, threats to North America and false, misleading and inaccurate reports on the situation in Ukraine, as highlighted in the list of links provided at the end of this letter.
These Russian TV channels are instrumental in spreading Russian President Vladimir Putin’s lies about the recent events in Ukraine to Canadian TV audiences in an attempt to justify his invasion of Ukraine: they are propagating war mongering and ethnic hatred. I refer you to the following document - The Ten Lies of Putin, (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2014/03/222988.htm) created by the U.S. Department of State.
Furthermore, Dmitri Kiselev, the General Director of Russia Today responsible for RT broadcasting, has been placed on the individual sanctions list by the European Commission.
Therefore, as a concerned Canadian citizen who respects human rights, democracy and integrity in journalism, and as your customer, I am asking that your respected company stop the transmissions, broadcasts, and videos of this Russian propaganda and avoid being the messengers of misinformation and hatred. Canadian audiences deserve honest and objective broadcasts.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
