To that end, the CRTC recently upheld a decision to require big internet companies to share their fibre networks with others, with competitor access sold at prices the telecommunications regulator determines.

Network sharing would facilitate competition and ultimately help drive down prices for consumers.

That initial decision by the CRTC was made a few years ago. But Bell, through some corporate maneuvering, filed a cabinet petition and managed to get the federal government in November 2024 to order the CRTC to reconsider this pro-competition directive.

Bell claimed its rationale for doing so was to protect smaller companies and improve telecom access for Canadians. But the reality is that, had the CRTC ruled in Bell’s favour, the duopolies that exist in most Canadian markets would have been cemented in place.

I’m happy for Rachel as The National Observer is such a massive upgrade.

Boycotts work. The naysayers are wrong once again.

vegan meat products don’t mimic meat, they mimic unhealthy crap that already does not taste like meat.

You do not understand how far developed the plant-based alternatives scene is, they have so many things that taste like meat for example ribs.

Plant-based meats are actually healthier than their animal-derived counterparts.

A review of previous studies found that risk factors for heart disease, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and body weight, improved when various animal-based meats were replaced with a substitute made from plants, according to the paper, published Wednesday in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.

I disagree with you there as we should preserve all foods but make them all plant-based so we do not lose culture.

You can eat whole foods plant-based instead and prepare all your food at home.

It’s just like how Trump is much more pro-destruction of Palestine.

Believe or not people want the same taste without sacrificing animals and the environment.

Support the smallest players when possible to encourage competition in the market. We need to shrink the size of Air Canada.

Trump wants Canada to waste money on thugs.

That includes their leader.

Time to learn more french.

It looks its time to boycott the CTV especially with how they fumbled their reporting of Palestine.

I wonder how this will affect Ubuntu Touch.

It’s never been a better time to switch to !linuxphones@lemmy.ca

The same thing will happen to Apple and Costco eventually.

I believe Forgejo lets you self host while Codeberg provides the hosting.

I recommend Codeberg or Forgejo!

That is perfection!

A lot of people make that mistake because the deal was later altered. Thank goodness Rogers doesn’t own Freedom as we would be paying out of the nose due to less competition.
