Der Kaiser Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't know guys. Sometimes it's good to crush the little guys and force consumers to buy a certain product from a certain provider. I mean, we would not be Canada without ridiculous monopolies on certain products granted to only one company. Why bother with free market competition when we have political elites to tell us what to buy at what price? I was getting a little tired of consumer choice myself.

NLengr Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Every time I am watching American or European TV and a commercial comes on for their internet/cell phone plans, I want to drive my car into the local Bell/Rogers/Telus office. I'm pretty sure Canada is now moving in reverse on internet policy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
