“Customers could consider switching service providers,” an ISED Canada representative wrote Thursday, when asked for a response to price increases at Rogers Communications and reported hikes at Bell.

Switch to who? Another fucking country? Bell and Rogers are the only options, they own all the towers, they own all the fiber.

Honestly, there will be a point when it's cheaper for most Canadian citizens to have a phone with a foreign carrier with a good international plan

Yup. I really regret letting my EU number go when I moved (back) to Canada. My EU number was about 25 Eur per month (a few years ago) including international roaming calls and data in Canada.

I though naaah, I'll get a local number because it makes sense right? No not really... 98% of the calls I get on my local Canadian number are scam calls (someone threatening me in Chinese with deportation over unpaid taxes etc.) so it's not like I would have been inconveniencing anyone local calling me... most of the remaining 2% call me on WhatsApp or Signal...
