You can always make things more strict, you can’t make them more lax.
In fact, some things require a “Special Resolution” which is 2/3rds.
BUT, that can mean 2/3 of the shareholders who show up, as long as enough people show up to make a quorum.
And a quorum can be as small as 1 person, again, depending on the Articles, bylaws, and resolutions.
Everyone must switch to Sasktel, Freedom, TBayTel, Sogetel, Ice, Cogeco, Videotron and Eastlink.
Also Teksavvy!
