Also, you can't afford a house, car ownership is mandatory, and we do nothing to stop our oligarchs from creating monopolies and playing silly little games like price fixing groceries.

Supporting oligarchy is an official policy here. It’s based on some grossly misguided ideology that big Canadian companies will protect us against bigger American competitors. We’re raising our own breed of face-eating snow leopards!

Sounds like United States 2: Electric Boogaloo.

They've actually got the US beat on the military-industrial complex bit, at least when adjusted for GDP.

Also 2 phone providers I believe yes?

Rogers and Bell or something?.... Or did it have "Tel" in there. I'm just guessing from memory

We have 3 major providers, Rogers/bell/telus with their subsidiary fido/virgin/koodo. And we do have a few small companies but they just rent bandwidth from the big 3.
