Bell Canada and Telus Corp. said they would partner with Ericsson and Nokia Oyj, even though they use Huawei in their 4G networks.

Money well spent.
NOW people are worried about buying from the Chinese. Haha, check your labels people, most of your house hold and it’s contents are made in China.
Another JustinTrudeau screw up!
Another billion dollars at risk thanks to Trudeau and the Liberals. So far two billion dollars in less than a year just disappearing into thin air.....
National security polices-no comp for telecoms, basically suck eggs.
Worth it
Telecom should not have went chinese gear in the first place. Trudope should stopped them from the start. Anything from CCP is a security risk
Almost like we should have never trusted the chinese regime 🤷♂️
Telecoms asking for coporate welfare due to federal government’s inaction? Shocker. We’re already getting screwed with some of the highest priced data plans of developed nations.
Dump the CBC. There's your Billion.
Harper sold Canada to China and now we are paying the price.
China's man in Canada Justin Trudeau should have banned Huawei 5G in 2015 but that would require leadership not grovelling to his beloved dictatorship...
