We pay some.of the highest rates in the world. Let this go thru and open us up to foreign competition.

I love Shaw the way it is. Fuck Rogers!

this country loves monopolies (and hates competition)

Btw Industry Canada and the CRTC screw ups and these two in the back pocket of Bell Telus Rogers will Trudeau ever keep his promise of affordable internet and cell service……doubt it, cheap words and no action

All done for show!

American business is generally an outline of what to AVOID as opposed to emulate. The price of broadband internet access in Canada is already higher than the rest of the world.

after the Government promised to bring affordable WiFi will this merger make it more expensive?

Just another step for higher charges,less competition and screwing the consumer!

Of course they want the deal to go through. With a monopoly in the digital service arena, they will be able to jack the prices for their services as high as they want. Yeah, it’s business, but it’s immoral to focus on maximizing profit like this merger will do. Just sayin’.

This was Bell. Bell did this. I can't prove it but that's what happened.

F*cking monopolies from shit corporations in a country with next to no competition = ridiculously high prices for less, low tier service, terrible customer service and slave contracts. 🖕🏼🖕🏼

Guys rate my nude photos)
