Lobslaw 🤣🤔🤣🤔🤣

I'm keeping that one.

I suppose that’s one point against citizenship lol

There are actually three major telecom companies making up 85%+ of the market share: Bell, Rogers, and Telus. Don't be fooled by names like Virgin, Fido, and Koodo, as those are just the "lite" subsidiaries of the three major companies respectively.

For supermarkets there is Loblaws, as you said. But, it's not like Sobeys and Metro are much better, they just keep their robber-baron executives better hidden.

Huh, I almost guessed Telus. Is Bell more of an east coast thing?

Bell was available in Nova Scotia when I lived there. It's also in Ontario. I can't speak for other provinces.

Bell is the second largest in Canada in number of suscribers.

Sobeys and Metro are literally the exact same shit. The whole boycott thing was so stupid, they played us like a fiddle.
