    Ya bunch a nimrods! The few hundreds of thousands of people who don’t live within 300 km of Toronto or the lakes need StarLink to get decent Internet. How can they watch the Leafs lose another fantastic season without good Internet? The cost of those contracts doesn’t cross the attention threshold of guys like leon. So cmon, ease up on that one.

      Canada should be investing in and expanding it’s own infrastructure; not becoming more reliant on the US and it’s private enterprises owned and operated by nazis.

        I don’t disagree but the CRTC’s monopolistic, colluding, communication trust corps will never spend money in those vast and remote markets. And people need to communicate.

        I recently found out about Saskatel the other day while I was looking at other Canadian telecoms… Good stuff. I agree with you, and wish other provinces followed suit.

          We used to have AGT in Alberta before Klein sold it off in the 90s

        Not gonna happen. The incumbents spend a lot of money to stifle competition. And Canadians seem to be in favour of defunding crown corporations, not setting up more of them.
