This is what you get for believing that Trudeau works for you. He doesn't care about Canadians, he just cares about his wealthy friends

Canada gotta do better! There’s no room for anything or anyone else

No duopoly being continued here, amIright?

Great, more Monopoly!! 🤮

Oh well I’m just sticking with my IP BOX

The Libs promised lower internet, mobile rates. Screw the CRTC and the libs, they don't give a hoot about consumers, just profits for big telecom. How much is starlink?

CRTC is a big joke!

HUGE MISTAKE - rogers already dictates prices & now has MONOPOLY on the market. CRTC does not care about what is best for the public —“COMPITITION”

Lol CRTC is the oligopoly facilitator agency

Of course, Canada needs less competition in the wireless/internet sector. Gotta keep that oligopoly sound…

Why would anyone under 60yrs old still have TV with any of these companies with so many IPTV options out there? Save ur money. $15 a month & you get thousands of channels from all over the world. You can buy them from various tech stores in so many languages.

Lmao CRTC is a joke, does nothing to protect consumers from these conglomerates...freedom was the only reason cell phone plans came back to earth bit.

CRTC...

MORE: Shaw's home telephone, wireless and internet services that Rogers plans to acquire are not subject to the CRTC’s approval, but are being reviewed by the Competition Bureau and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

Great, even higher prices now. CRTC is a national disaster.

Ridiculous.

BCE RCI 🇨🇦 telcos cdnpoli X

WHY....

Corporate* Radio-television and Telecommunications

Of course it would. A former Telco lobbyist is the Chair

Bell must be pissed.

Who can say competition is dead...Canada can...yippie

This is terrible for the Canadian consumer.

Both trash providers..NEXT 😒🤢🤡

Well this sucks...taking options away from people will not work in your favour. Now they will raise their prices even higher...thanks to the CRTC, who obviously doesn't give a crap about Canadians who already pay the highest fees for internet/phone/tv.

of course...

I like that there’s people making a career out of pretending that monopolies don’t exist in Canada 💀
