| It comes as no surprise... Canada is even more screwed that the US when it comes to broadband, because the companies the provide the internet, also own the phone system, and the media.
So The Globe and Mail-CTV-Bell-Expressview
vs.
Rogers-CHUM-Rogers Media-Rogers Cable
You can bet your last dollar that the minute someone mentions that there may be a problem with our current system, by unpatriotically stating, that Canadians may not be getting value for their internet dollard, their spin machine will be set in motion.
