Canada has a monopoly problem. How did we get here? And how do we get out? Letโ€™s bring home competition

Exactly. And a lot of that infrastructure was paid for by taxpayer money in the first place.

We could even go one step further and take it back. Nationalize the infrastructure layer, contract infrastructure maintenance back to the telcos, and lease the lines to whoever wants to use them to provide service.

We eventually had to switch away from a smaller ISP simply because they simply weren't allowed to offer the same level of service as Bell. The best they could offer was 25/10, whereas Bell was allowed to provide fiber to the home.
