    Bump. This should be a more active thread given what these crooks are doing to us. Just got a SIM card in Ireland for the next month - 25 GB of data for 25 euro (37.71 dollars).

    The failure by successive Canadian governments to break up the cell phone cartel is a national disgrace. Every candidate should be asked about it.

    It's got to be a bigger issue. We lead the world, and not in a good way:


    To tourists or newcomers, it can be one of the most shocking things about Canada. In our developed, first-world, G7 country, the cell phone rates seem to be disproportionately, ridiculously expensive.

    �What�s up with your mobile phone contracts Canada?! It�s 2.5x the cost of mine here!� reads a typical reaction, posted by a British academic in January.

    When it ranks wireless prices among its member countries, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development consistently finds Canada ranking near the top for pricing, particularly on data plans.

    And why does Terence Corcoran, a fire-breathing arch-capitalist when it comes to those in steerage, have such a soft spot for these market riggers?

    I know. They should expect that the politicians they buy should stay bought.
