Mass Effect petition has enough signatures for the Canadian Government to potentially save BioWare and games that "champion the values of inclusivity, tolerance, democracy, justice, and civil rights"

Following news of EA's decision to shut down iconic RPG studio BioWare, Canadian fans of the studio have escalated their grievances to the governmental level, calling on the Canadian Government to step in and save the Canadian studio from closure, seemingly after Canada's New Democratic Party leader Avi Lewis called on the government to do so.

Fans have submitted a petition to the Canadian House of Commons arguing for the government to find a way for BioWare to continue, such as through funding that allows the studio to buy the Mass Effect and other IPs and go independent.
