Canada has a huge competition problem and the liberals and conservatives are too corrupt to change anything about this. We have 3 grocery company and 3 telecom providers that both fix prices so fuxking high, and the government keeps giving them subsidies aka free money. I really hope one day a government with some balls will get elected and decide to force these companies to split up. I promise to myself that if I ever get enough money, I would start a telecom company and sell plans at cost + a fixed margin, just to hurt the big players. This happened in France 20 years ago with Free, they basically had the same situation as we have here, and they came up with a plan that was still profitable but was wayyy less expensive than the competition. Of course the big players tried suing Free but they lost and now France has among the lowest telecom prices for developed countries
and all of what? 2 airlines? maybe 3 or 4 internet providers with dedicated lines while the rest have to use Rogers.
I mean hell it’s obvious Canada has a competition problem and the liberals, cons, ndp have zero desire to do anything about it. We even have a competition bureau that gets so little funding all they can afford to do is issue reports and studies.
It’s going to get to a point where they’ll rename Parliament Hill to “Roger’s Parliament Hill” or rename Nathan Philips Square to “Bell Centre Square”.
But this shouldn’t surprise anyone. The government of Canada hasn’t given two flying fucks about the people LIVING in Canada for literal decades. It’s just one massive dog and pony show to line their own pockets.
