I'm always amazed about the lack of conversation around nationalizing telecom. We have sasktel as a great example of how it can work, and hydroquebec as a great historical representation of the benefits of publicizing infrastructure. Seems about time to start recognizing internet as a necessary utility that the government directly provides to the people.

SaskTel and MTS were great. MTS is a great example of what can happen when Conservatives allow telecom to privatize. Never vote Conservative.

Bruce Telecom, Tbaytel, and CityWest are also government-owned. Funny how nobody ever wants to talk about them.
