That' doesn't exist in this country cuz of how our parties and electoral system works atm. I'm stuck picking my poison.

In this case I'd want steps taken to bring down both broadband + cell service pricing to be in line with at Australia (which has lower population density, and similar cost to serve yet we are 2.5x higher in pricing) while improving current network resiliency. We won't get that with either of our two party choices.
All true.

However I still think if Canadians actually spoke to their MPs and demanded action, something would happen. But, most don't care or really understand what is going on.

Look at what is happening in the US regarding Starlink, Dish and that stupid spectrum BS that Dish is trying to pull. The FCC has gotten 90,000+ comments from Starlink users who are pissed off with what is going on.

Canadians will never band together and organize something like that.
