Doug’s Dynamic Drivel

Yesterday it was announced that Telus, Canada’s second largest telecommunications giant is in merger talks with BCE the parent corporation of Bell Canada, which is the largest telecom in Canada. If they merge the resulting company will control about 60% + of the Canadian telecommunications industry with the rest being made up of much smaller companies like Sasktel. This will be an utter disaster for Canadians. Both parties have been heavily petitioning the CRTC to eliminate net neutrality in Canada. This merger must not be allowed to happen but I fear it will as the Harper Conservatives will roll over for any big corporation, it’s the conservative way. This is bad bad news.
