    Let’s just keep pretending the government is actually serious about doing something about it, and that this isn’t just window dressing from a government and a bureaucracy that’s made up of folks with non-arms length ties to Robellus.

    If the government was at all serious about consumer protections, they would have, you know, put some actual ones in place. This goes for all parties too, as they are all just as guilty for this as the next.

    I used to travel to Canada for work twice a year. One time my phone roaming didn’t work so I decided to get a prepaid SIM card just for the two weeks I would be there.

    That’s when I learned the hard way that Canada has the highest mobile rated in the Americas

    Also, I think now is a good time to mention that later this year we will start entering that pre-electoral bullshit phase. “Things need to change” from the current elected government kind of bullshit. I feel like this is the very beginning of this phase sadly

    “Everything we’ve done (bugger all) hasn’t worked, so we’ll allow these companies to merge and reduce competition further with ‘enforceable’ conditions attached that everyone recognizes won’t do a thing.” Have they thought of nationalization? Competition with a crown company? A giant surtax on their ludicrous profits? Heavy regulation? A license/board scheme where their plans and prices need approval before making offers?
