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
