Also 2 phone providers I believe yes?

Rogers and Bell or something?.. Or did it have “Tel” in there. I’m just guessing from memory

We have 3 major providers, Rogers/bell/telus with their subsidiary fido/virgin/koodo. And we do have a few small companies but they just rent bandwidth from the big 3.

Supporting oligarchy is an official policy here. It’s based on some grossly misguided ideology that big Canadian companies will protect us against bigger American competitors. We’re raising our own breed of face-eating snow leopards!
