Lmao Hahahahaha you mean it was hacked by Russia suddenly two days after turbines are released to Russia 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol, yeah sure they will….
De-privatize internet. You can't trust a private company with something t his vital, come on!
There is no way Roger's and Shaw can be allowed to merge.
Time to break these oligarchs up. Force them to separate TV, from internet, from service providers, cell phones, etc. Each type of service must be separated from every other type of service.
Until the investigation is complete there should be a moratorium on any merges taking away Shaw that would be an absolute mistake
8 out of 10 Democrats want nothing to do with Biden. Kamala is even worse !! That was February this year !! It is now 9 out 10 Democrats want nothing to do with both !! The people behind corrupting your press and Democrat party, are the elitist, moneyed British Liberal order. Make NO !! mistake about this !!
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to heaven?
Heaven is real and hell is real
Capitalism ruins everything. There should be competition
So why didn't the federal government see the future clearly and know that this was going to happen? Why didn't you outlaw this outage before it happened?
Who writes this talking head's questions?
We have a telecoms watchdog? What do they do with their time?
You got him on the ropes , and then he got away and dodge liberal short sighted laws allowing monopolies to rise .
I thought the Liberals said the cellphone plans were going to be cheaper.
In India I people pay 10$ for 3 months 1.5 GB day. You'r not covering more than 20k sq km but there internet was 1.5 million sq miles back in Asia to 1.5 billion people. Trust me mobile internet there was faster than most broadband here. Ya Bell is 3 GBPS but it's not affordable. Invite Ambani (Richest Indian) to teach telcos mafia a leason. 55 $ for trivial bell connection hurts.
This mess happened under this ministers watch. Why is he on tv?
Inb4 resilience improvement fee and emergency roaming fees 🙂
this country has an epidemic of useless ministers
Oh, this Minister is a hero. I can see what is wrong and fic a problem after things have went wrong. akin to the person that say I would of done this to avert the disaster lol
They want competition???? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Take this as a lesson to keep cash on you. And how bad we rely on the internet.
Attention, this is a f*ing minister that doubles at the lapdog of telecom industry- so, whatever fix is, it’s going to be between the good ol big boys- god forbid these they weaken these oligopolies.
This was very inconvenient for us, I do hope we never have to experience this again.
This is the 2nd outage in a year. Why wasn't it looked at then. Its 2nd verse same as the first.
Free market wants monopoly.
Canada’s telecom watchdog apparently fell asleep on the job. He needs to step down.
Never mind investigating. It is like closing the barn door after it has left. What process did the Telecom Watchdog have in place to ascertain the Telecom companies not having massive failures? Rogers have had at least a couple of major service outages in the past couple of years. All the Watchdog does is stood there and watch. He needs to go.
Sure!🤡🎪
I'm on Eastlink. No failure and a more human touch.
Industry minister, plz just answer the question
